I will not be taking part until tried and tested technolgy is actually working. If that means in two years time so be it.

I had thought about it, but it may mean that once you’ve had the vaccination that you will need to expose yourself to the virus.

I just think that our age group is too high a risk, so no I won’t be taking part.

I also think it depends on which company has produced the vaccine. Some are using the tried and tested technology and other are using a new untried and tested technology.

So I would feel very nervous about it all.

Being as the 'flu jab didn't protect against the worst bout of 'flu I ever had in my life at the beginning of the year-----no.

Re the request for volunteers aged 65+ to be part of the trials for the new vaccination, are any of you thinking of helping out? I’m interested but a bit anxious despite being a fir and healthy 66 year old! Anything I can do to speed up the process of vaccination approval appeals to me. Any thoughts?
