ARE YOU ONE OF THE GROWING ARMY OF BOOSTER REFUSENIKS?

HAVE you had your latest Covid booster yet? Everyone aged over 65 has been eligible for an extra dose since early September to protect them from the inevitable winter wave.

Healthcare workers, pregnant women and people who are very vulnerable to Covid can also have one. But apparently a lot of people in this group are yet to have theirs.

I’ve heard from some say they don’t want another jab, having had four or five by now, and others haven’t even been invited. It doesn’t bode well, given that we have the rest of the over50s to get through, who will be called up in the coming weeks.

The extra boost of protection is crucial, with a double whammy of Covid and flu expected to floor the NHS this winter. I’m officially boosted – and all it cost me was a slightly sore arm for a couple of days.

I want to know if you’ve had your booster yet. And if not, why not? Write and tell me.
