What’s happens when we’re all vaccinated....

120 replies

Backjlack · 31/05/2021 19:05

One all adults are vaccinated (with both doses) what happens?

Will it then go back to the start of offering boosters in vulnerability order?

Will the boosters be the same vaccine that you’ve been given as your first and second dose?

Does anyone actually know?

Interested to hear opinions.

We'll never all be vaccinated. So many vaccine refusers, plus children who won't be eligible.
No one knows yet about boosters, there is research going on into how mixing vaccines works, there is hope that it will give better immunity but no result yet.
My guess is that for this year it will be groups 1 to 6 who get a booster until more is known.

rosie39forever · 31/05/2021 19:15

*disclaimer...I know nothing
But
I think boosters will be offered to the people who usually receive the flu vaccine first then who knows..
I did read that if you've received AZ or Johnson and Johnson vaccine for your first and second dose then you can't have another viral vector vaccine you will need to have a MRNA vaccine for your booster, something to do with the vector mutating if you keep having them.

Does anyone actually know?......well the government haven't got a clue so the chances of anyone else guessing what they're going to do is remote at best.

Really, that’s interesting!

A work colleague’s husband is a Dr and told her that AZ won’t be used for booster, so maybe that’s the reason why.

(I understand that’s a not a reliable source so I’ve taken it with a pinch of salt)

My guess is that they will focus on getting the vaccine approved for children / school age teenagers.

It will become standard on the school immunisation schedule so everyone has a base line. As the years go by and they have more and more information they will try to get it in as early as possible. I'd expect it to be part of the baby imms when my kids (2,4) have kids.

Then boosters will be offered like the flu jab is now. Free if you fall in a vulnerable category and I imagine that will shrink as they know more about the virus and who it will impact.

Non vulnerable people can pay for a booster if they like.

Ideally it becomes like flu in terms of our response and peoples' acceptance of the risk.

Backjlack · 31/05/2021 19:29

@Baluchistan95

Your choice.

Let’s hope you don’t suffer severely with Covid.

@Twizbe

Do you think people will accept the risk like flu?

I’m not sure myself.

DH is in group 6 and I’ve definitely felt more concerned by Covid than I ever have Flu.

My eldest turns 18 towards the end of the year, I'm interested to find out whether they'll continue to offer it to healthy adults or just the vulnerable by then.

Backjlack · 31/05/2021 19:33

@GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat

I’m interested to find that out too!

Also for the people that are refusing the vaccine now, will they be included in boosters (or first doses)
I suspect a fair few will refuse now but change their minds at a later date.

Will you also be turning down NHS treatment if you get sick with Covid?

Twizbe · 31/05/2021 19:37

@Backjlack short answer, yes. Flu is a very dangerous disease. My mum's school friend lost her dad to it back in the 60s. It's wasn't the only person she knew who died of it.

We just don't hear about people dying of flu. I bet none of us could say how many people in our area died of flu in 2019.

As we talk about covid less, as the world opens up, as they stop reporting on stats, basically as it becomes old news people will accept the risk because they don't know the risks.

All this talk of blood clots making people nervous of the vaccine, yet I'm sure they've not done so much research into other vaccines. Nor did they consider the much higher risk of clots from the pill.

CandyFIosss · 31/05/2021 19:38

It’s been well over a year and I haven’t had it. 🤷‍♀️ Happy to take my chances

HopeYourHighHorseBucks · 31/05/2021 19:39

Do smokers, drug takers, obese people, quad bike accidents? (the list goes on) all unavoidable strain on the NHS.

I'm not sure OP. I'm still waiting for it to get to my age group but am curious too.

rosie39forever · 31/05/2021 19:39

That wasn’t the question

Odd post. Why on earth would I do that? Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. My intention is to leave it another 12 months to see what side effects all the vaccinated have, then I will make a decision. I don't do experimental vaccines. Hth.

Avoidable that is meant to say **

If the present situation is anything to go by
We will still be restricted,
The government will still be trying to scare us witless
The government will still be reluctant to give up their power trip and control
The economy will still tank
Children will still be treated like pawns in the game.

The government will still be pushing snot rags and face nappies at us
Mental health problems will still be going through the roof
Elderly and vulnerable will still be treated as commodities and still be refused loved ones/ visits and advocates to help ease their deplorable situation

The only way this shit stops is for people to stop complying and get out and live their lives
Stop listening to the news
Do your own risk assessments
Question everything that is going on.
Reclaim our people power

"Do your own risk assessments"

For the millionth time, this does not work in the context of an infectious disease pandemic.

If everyone used your theory we would still be in lockdown with the pandemic still raging.

I hope that those who have refused the vaccine ( because they think their lives are far more worthy than anyone else’s) are refused NHS treatment if they contract Covid! Why should the British taxpayer pay for medical treatment for those who refuse to protect themselves? Plus hospitals will have to refuse treatment, for those who really need it, because you will, with Covid, contaminate a whole ward thus making it inaccessible to anyone else!

rosie39forever · 31/05/2021 19:52

🤣🤣 at the prospect of a nation of obese binge drinkers being able to personally risk assess

Letsgetreadytocrumble · 31/05/2021 19:53

Do people think that those who don't get a flu vaccine but become seriously ill from flu shouldn't get NHS treatment either?

So infectious that the government reduced its severity on March 19 2020

Yeah right
I’m not falling for that codswallop
So infectious that it was ok to evacuate us from abroad in March 2020
That it was ok to pack us like sardines in planes, in an overcrowded airport with no sd , no sanitiser, no masks.

So infectious that my son was sent in to covid homes with just a plastic apron, plastic gloves and a tatty snot rag

I’m not buying into this nonsense and never have done.

romdowa · 31/05/2021 19:53

My guess is that the virus will continue to mutate and every year they will be bringing out a new vaccination for that years strain, much like the flu. I think lockdowns will continue far beyond the majority being vaccinated. Ive never believed that the jab was our golden ticket to normality.
