I am not eligible for a Covid booster this Autumn with the NHS
I am not old enough!
I think I will pay to have one as I think it is worthwhile.
What would you do if you are in my position?

Robin202 take note.

I am SO pro-vaccines having been seriously ill with both measles and whooping cough, as well as going through 2 weeks of hell when in early pregnancy having tests for chicken pox.

Even with the COVID vaccine, I struggled to breathe for 3 days and was quite ill for 11 in total, and still get exhausted a year later.

I am too young this time, but they have also taken diabetes off the list, as well as COPD!! My friend's husband is a diabetic with serious circulation issues and on dialysis and they won't give him one either! Seem like they are solving the pension fund and PIP deficits by stealth.
