Oh and am 66

Apart from the FIRST covid all have been walk in no appointment needed though I do make one, small Welsh village

How come you got shingles vaccine? Private? - as whilst NHS have lowered the age to 65, they've done it in a weird way and I'm 67 and can't get it until I'm 70. Seems the new lower age only applies who have their 65th birthday after the age change! My 65th birthday was 2 years ago so I'm cot covered by the new "from age 65" criteria!

'cos I'm keen to get the vaccination having suffered shingles before and I'm told that having had it before does not change your chances of getting it a second time (although 3rd time is apparently very unlikely)!

NHS (I am also ex NHS) Well 66 in two months

Move to Wales :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you turned 65 before 1 September 2023 you will be contacted when you turn 70.

If you turned 65 after 1 September 2023 you are still eligible. Contact your GP surgery for an appointment.

Wales is pretty much the same

If you turned 65 before 1 September 2023 you will be contacted when you turn 70.

If you turned 65 after 1 September 2023 you are still eligible. Contact your GP surgery for an appointment.

So I can't see how you were eligible.

i feel guilty actually having the 3 that i've had as felt like i was pressured into having them from media, work & the doctors i really wish i hadn't bothered now and feel bad for it if i could "turn back time" as cher would sing about.

my missus and her sister haven't had any jabs and ive had covid more times than the both of them together.

However I have NEVER felt pressured, we all have choices to make.

Bully for you it’s obvious you’ve never meet the nurse I said no to the Covid vaccine to.
I made my choice based on what my body has been progressively telling me after each jag. Weighed up with what I consider a low risk of catching Covid. I or Mrs P have never had it and neither have two sons both working with the public.

Consider yourself fortunate you’ve had no side effects at all and i see why you carry on getting it. If you or a son were part of that 'small' percentage of problems might you have a different opinion?

I’ve no idea why you’ve given me a link showing that in England a lot less people have had the Covid jag than have taken the flu jag. Mirroring my decision thank you.

Self preservation is not a bad attitude to have in my book.

I'm very sorry to hear of your daughter's situation, I hope she is receiving the right care and that matters improve.

You say you felt pressured into having these injections, to what extent do you feel this affected your decision?
