It is interesting that the highest Covid Vaccine take-up is in the older cohorts. Is that perhaps because we oldies were brought up in an era when you understood risks and benefits and had to make your own judgements in everyday life ? Maybe most of us are not followers of social media ? So we are, perhaps, not so likely to follow the conspiracy theorists but look at the evidence - and where that is scant, make our own judgements !
Glad to see the new research that the vaccine protects against long covid even slightly. I’m immunocompromised but not immunocompromised enough for the NHS!
Good to hear as I have a hospital procedure mud Nov and had my booster 2 weeks ago.
I'm worried about the stories.I'm hearing from older people who hear stories about side effects and long term effects saying there is no research regarding this issue. Can you point to the latest on this as it's making them feel they don't want any more boosters
Have you heard that Aseem Malhotra, covid antivaxer has been given a advisory role in Trumps new US administration? God help America
Do you want Turbocancer with the covid jabs

Totally agree with you.
Thank you. Continue to be very grateful to you and Independent Sage for stepping into the vacuum to keep us informed

Any chance the Covid boosters could come out early September rather than October? I missed my booster as I had Covid on the set October day!

I turned 65 earlier this year and have been for both my COVID and flu vaccines as soon as I could. Thank you for these updates.

Thank you very useful indeed for me 78 with two heart problems just vaccinated with flu rsv and COVID. Nobody outside wearing a mask except me.
And me
I wear one - supermarkets etc. but rarely see anyone else. Usage rate must be <1%.
