If you didn't get the jab, would you consider having it now?

You'd better be quick if you're healthy and under 50...

"The Telegraph understands the Government is also preparing to wind down the open offer of the first two doses over the coming months. The move will mean unvaccinated healthy under-50s will soon not be able to get a Covid jab unless one is recommended by a medical professional."

Absolutely not.

Nope.

Buzzinwithbez · 26/01/2023 07:42

I'm getting total fomo now.

LegArmpits · 26/01/2023 07:44

hay5689 · 26/01/2023 07:48

LucyD30 · 26/01/2023 07:48

That’s great and nope I won’t be getting it!

onedayiwillmissthis · 26/01/2023 07:49

No.

onedayiwillmissthis · 26/01/2023 07:54

TelegraphHmm

The JCVI are advising that...

"primary course COVID-19 vaccination should move, over the course of 2023, towards a more targeted offer during vaccination campaigns"

No, I still won't be having the vaccine.

BashirWithTheGoodBeard · 26/01/2023 08:06

I'm surprised it took that long. It seems obvious that most people who haven't had the primary course vaccines by now aren't going to. The only exceptions I can think of are those who've just reached Gillick competence and don't have any risk factors, and it doesn't make much sense to incur all the expenses of keeping a programme open for them.

Buzzinwithbez · 26/01/2023 08:07

It's still open for people to have their primary course. Phew! Form an orderly queue, no pushing!

BashirWithTheGoodBeard · 26/01/2023 08:08

I've had mine, fwiw, but I'm honestly surprised the primary course have stayed widely available for so long.

So nice to see lack of the usual 'omg!! Why wouldn't you get it, YOU GRANNY KILLER!!! You are so SELFISH'!! That literally dominated life for so long!

Hiheyho · 26/01/2023 08:21

Absolutely not!

Notwellatall · 26/01/2023 08:27

Not enough money in the world to make me have that poison injected into me.

FuzzyPinkTaco · 26/01/2023 09:16

Nope. Never had one, not planning on getting one either as I was never really ill when I finally did get covid. The jabs don't cause you from getting it or passing it on. The variants now are weak and generally not life threatening, so not point really. Plus more and more medical professionals are questioning their need and safety. Everyone I know that's had the jab has been far more ill than me or my family who are all unjabbed.

Biscuits1011 · 26/01/2023 09:18

Absolutely not

Terzani · 26/01/2023 11:10

No way.
As for the ”targeted” ones (older people), it's so sweet how this story about the booster was instantly changed:

No Increased Stroke Risk Linked to Pfizer’s Covid Boosters, Federal Officials Say

Elleviss · 26/01/2023 12:03

Not a cat in hells chance!
I have no regrets either as I listened to all the right people before it came out. And what I have personally seen happen is what they warned would happen.

FuzzyPinkTaco · 26/01/2023 12:50

If you go on Twitter and view @draseemmalhotra profile and then scroll down to the tweet he shared yesterday with a fairly long video clip from eNCA (South Africa's leading main stream news channel) you can see that there are lots of valid concerns being shared and discussed openly on mainstream news about the negative side effects of the vaccine.

I won't post a link because I once did that at the beginning of the pandemic and my account was blocked for linking to a woman who was severely injured by the vaccine causing her to lose the ability to walk and control her limbs (she's now been highly publicised on mainstream news and is an advocate for the vaccine injured).

Sadly the medical gaslighting still going in strong from people and platforms attempting to silence and down play victims and discredit prominent esteemed medical professionals who dare go against the grain and question what we're being told and led to believe.

Shgytfgtf111 · 26/01/2023 12:58

No

Picklypickles · 26/01/2023 13:04

I got the first 2 jabs but never bothered with the 3rd and haven't bothered with any boosters or anything since.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 26/01/2023 13:07

The problem is that the people who would be most likely to answer Yes are the ones who died of Covid.
