Covid-19 vaccine .....

[dark_castle1]

Now that the vaccination programme is about to be rolled out soon, are you in the yay, nay or maybe after you see some results of others taking it camp if you are offered it ?

Personally I am in the yay camp if it gets  me back to some kind of normality in the future because all these constant precautions are beginning to affect me.

Thanks creeky, but the mail link doesn't have the actual video in it only images from it as far as I can see on my phone. Never mind

It wouldn't be surprising if the flu infection numbers dropped significantly, the precautions taken against covid would also be effective against flu transmission.

Plus there has been a drive to get as many vulnerable people vaccinated against flu.

When I had mine, the surgery had set up temporary outside small marquee structures and had two teams jabbing away about every ten minutes.

That's very true, it was surprising enough that for the first-time ever the surgery phoned me to ask if I wanted my flu jab.  I nearly dropped the phone when I asked when they were going to do it and they said get down here right away.  Usually I ring them and get an appointment a week or two in the future.  They had set up a makeshift awning to work under in the car-park to shade the nurses from the sun!

As you say existing precautions against Covid will help lower flu transmission and probably also explains why this year there hasn't been the usual outbreaks of the other seasonal infections like coughs, colds and chest infections.
