I have just had my invitation for my spring booster covid jab and I have booked it for tomorrow. Talking to some friends this morning at our knit and natter I was surprised that a few say they are not bothering to have any more. Do you feel it is still a good idea or won’t you be bothering.

I'm not quite in the age group for another booster yet Enfys, but when I am eligible I will have it yes.
Although my experience with Covid was very mild, no one knows each time how it may affect you so I want to be protected.
It's just like keeping up with our flu jabs I feel.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – Unknown -
Mine is booked for Friday. I’ll accept anything I’m offered!Women are like tea bags; you never know how strong they are until they are put in hot water.

I might be bucking the trend, but I'm not having another booster as things are at present. I only have the flu jab very reluctantly and I hope I've now built up some resistance to Covid. I'm worried there are still concerns about the vaccination, like my OH who still has a painful arm from his last one.

It is entirely a personal decision Daisy.
My friend M was very undecided about having any covid vaccinations (she did in the end) I must ask her if she plans to continue with them.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

Daisy, I am with you on this one, I never had any of the boosters, DB2 was telling me that after his last booster he has never felt right.Comment

I have had mine, like Grauntie I have anything offered.What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stareComment

That's worrying, Lizzie. My OH literally winces in pain sometimes when his arm suddenly hurts, but it's sore all the time.Originally posted by Lizzie48 View Post

That isn't right Daisy, do you think they touched a muscle?
I am not against vaccinations, everyone to their own, a couple opposite here, the same age as I am, don't even have their flu jabs anymore, I had my doubts the last time I had it.Comment

I had mine two weeks ago. Having lost two good friends to Covid and another suffering from Long Covid it was a no brainier.Comment

Sum, that's so very sad, losing friends to this horrible pandemic.
Lizzie, we wondered if they'd touched a muscle, but the previous jab had been painful for weeks and weeks after he'd had it.
