Banker Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Lilly said: I'm glad you mentioned this. I met a lady on the beach yesterday who said she was booking her next COVID booster; she's only 50 and not vulnerable either. l asked her if she had an invitation for the booster; no, she replied You can, just book it online, apparently. So does anyone know if this possible? I'm just over 60 but would like a booster before the winter. I would say she’s telling lies unless she’s immunosuppressive as won’t be available to under 65 otherwise, same as UK. My mother is late 80s & hasn’t heard anything, asked district nurse who would administer & she doesn’t know when she’ll get it but will be one of first lot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

code99 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I am concerned that the decision to restrict the top-up vaccine programme to the over-65s and the immunocompromised could end very badly for the UK, and even worse here. The demographic of the Island is such that an outbreak of any serious illness could tip Nobles into crisis – we know that they are already struggling and we are not even in winter yet, just imagine what could happen at Nobels if the Island is hit by a new wave of Covid. IMHO, the booster should be offered to all residents who want it. There are international precedents for this - in those American states where the balance of power is controlled by Democrats it appears that "everyone" will be able to get 1 "updated Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to be up to date”. In California, for example, as at 23 August this year “Any Californian aged 6 months and older can get vaccinated for free”. I hope I am wrong but I suspect that the Island’s booster roll-out will (once again) slavishly follow what Public Health England does… why do we need the IOM Director of Public Health whose job is to copy and paste the English rules? Abolishing that role will save taxpayers money that could be used to recruit some frontline medical staff who deserve decent salaries not disingenuous clapping by politicians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
