And getting dose 6/booster 3 in November with my flu jab. My cohort of leukaemia/lymphoma inpatients on ward 7 Royal Liverpool, had their 5th dose 6 weeks ago. Wonder if this will show on my vax certificate? I last had to show one on 22/4 boarding the ferry from Rosslare to Bilbao. My 90 years old Mum is still waiting for her second booster, rang 111 & said she’ll get invite shortly so not sure how efficient latest roll out is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I had one two weeks ago but chatting to friends the invites seem haphazard, one friend, younger than me, same doctor, alphabetically after me got his letter four weeks before me he is also medically fitter than I am, live in same area. We could not work out how the invites were compiled 🤫. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least no one is setting a 270 day time limit since last dose on boosters, and I’m not in the catch 22 of having had my third primary, but it not showing, and my 2nd dose being more than 9 months before hand, which is where I was in late February.

0bserver Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 It's certainly doing the rounds again. 14 people I know have got it at the moment and a good few of them are really ill this time. I guess their LFTs could just be old and not working accurately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Manx Care will also have to stop asking for them before appointments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably they wont be universally free, but will be available to pensioners and those on benefits and could be administered at the entrance to the hospital if numbers warrant.

It’s not clear yet as Hooper says decisions to be made but the costs of free tests must be very high as UK don’t provide free ones any more https://www.manxradio.com/news/coronavirus-news/lfts-cant-be-universally-free-forever-says-minister/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not pretending it has gone away, it will never go away, it is accepting that it is entirely normal now that there is substantial immunity in the population. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not suggesting we test all the time. I was just querying the UK government’s motives for charging for tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take much effort to pretend it's gone away either. It has, to all intents and purposes, genuinely faded into insignificance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
