That is you choice Foxy & I hope you never need to regret it!

I have a minimum of 4 jabs a day ( owing to my diabetes) and they have kept me alive for over 35 years... so I don't think another couple of jabs each year will bother me.

I work on the theory that it is better to be safe than sorry, which I think is better than lying in an Intensive care unit unsure if I will survive.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

How did you get the vaccine, do you have to apply or do they call you ?

They either send you a letter or text inviting you to make an appointment. My mum had a text but I heard on TV that some areas are posting letters.

I can understand your concern Twink, and am glad that you will be doing what you think is necessary to avoid Covid.
But I won't be catching it, that's why I won't have the vaccine. It would be like using nicotine patches when I don't smoke...

Queenie

we received a phone call from our Health Centre on 5th January offering us an appointment to have the vaccine on 9th January. Everything went smoothly.

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations

I do think many people may have to cancel their holiday plans as many companies will require proof of vaccination before allowing a booking. 🙁
