Chris Whitty - Covid vaccination like the flu programme

Did anyone else feel nervous hearing this?

When asked how they plan to roll out mass vaccination every year (if need be), a possibility he mentioned was only vaccinating those at high risk, in the same way we do the flu programme annually.

As a healthy 30-something this makes me feel incredibly nervous, especially with the risks known to healthy individuals and the severity of long covid becoming clear.

If this happens, do you think we’d be able to pay for a vaccine as we are able to do with the flu jab?

That is one study OP of 201 people that still hasnt been peer reviewed and it is 66% and it is mild.

And that was August so the longer term hasnt been checked to see if it is still there

What do you want to have happen then? BEcause I dont think private vaccinations is the cure to all of this and I dont think will be allowed at the end of the year anyway
