I am not good at writing but could you sign this and post on other platforms ie. facebook etc which I cant do. I will struggle to pay this cost this month. It feels like as a pensioner I am being kicked everywhich way.

When I was at the surgery for my flu jab I asked about the covid jab, and they said if was for over 75 years and those with known issues.

I'm 65 and don't mind not having it unless I need it.

I started having the jabs and boosters but now Ive had to stop for the next 7 years as Im only 68!! 🙄🙄 Oh unless I pay £100....

Errm....personally I'd like a petition for the other side of this - ie for there to be a charge payable. If it's someone's personal decision to do something = it seems fair enough to me that they pay for it.

I’ve also signed. My clinically vulnerable 70 year husband has had to pay £100 for a Covid vaccine. Even the USA is covering Covid vaccines for over 60’s!

You can have mine after having had eight I ve decided to stop I’ve had the winter flu jab but declined the Covid one

Don’t be ridiculous you can’t give people your Covid jab. You can give people Covid though if you decline the jab and then catch Covid do imo you’re being selfish

I think Bluebell was half joking momac55.
You can still get covid after getting the jab.
I’ve had four. ILL after the first two. I don’t want any more either.
I had Covid last year & just isolated.
