I’d be happy to pay for COVID-19vaccine

What price the COVID-19 inoculation?

At a time when our brains are becoming increasingly scrambled at the sheer scale of the billions being spent on defending the nation’s health and the economy, and how long it will take to repay this new national debt with its unavoidable taxation increases, I find it sad that, according to the learned experts, the expected cost per inoculation ‘jab’ is not likely to exceed £10.

So, £20 for some peace of mind seems like an achievable cost for most folk – a real bargain

However, we no longer have simple mechanisms whereby such costs – if only voluntary – can be made.

We used to be able to make charitable donations over-the-counter at our banks – when we had them – for floods, tsunamis and famines, etc.

For one, I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to funding the anti-COVID campaign being mounted by our GP practices and the cottage hospital by paying for my jabs.

They are serving us well, as always. Ian Hamilton
