   I love the idea of getting vaccine boosters, but understand that in some places it’s basically not possible. Consider the UK, for example, which is literally throwing Covid booster doses away rather than give them to people not in their “at risk” groups who want them.

     @goatsarah I wasn't eligible this winter. I went to the pharmacy to get a flu jab and I was asked "Do you want the COVID one as well?" I said I wasn't eligible and they said didn't matter, I could still have it. I threw myself onto the needle as fast as I could. TL;DR you may not be eligible, but pharmacists can be reasonable.

     @goatsarah I’m now at the stage of having lost count of the number of vaccinations I’ve had — a function of the fact that they stopped filling in those little cards. I know I’ve had them at roughly six month intervals though and that, on two occasions, it’s only because I was absolutely determined to get one and not lapse. I’m preparing for another assault on the system next month, prepared to work out how to work the system again.
