Hi everyone, apologies if there's already a thread about this. I've just seen that this year's covid jab is only for over 75s, (plus the other usual groups). As I am under that i feel quite concerned. Apparently we will be able to buy one but it could cost between £75-100. I can't understand why they would do this when the flu jab is the same as usual.

He was angry with NHS for having a glitch in the booking system that let people book

I had a grovelling apology from the NHS to say I couldn't have the shingles jab after having earlier invited me to attend for it. We sincerely apologise for any confusion this may have caused.
They don't seem to think someone of my age needs the covid jab either.
Oh well, one out the three possibles will have to do. Just the flu jab.
