Book your seasonal COVID-19 vaccination now said the letter that I received recently from the NHS. I logged on to the address given and a list of addresses came up and not one of them was in Dover. Ramsgate, Margate, Herne bay, Canterbury, Romney marsh and a few others but not one in Dover. What on earth is going on?. We seem to be a backwater of Kent. My last one was in the village hall at Whitfield and the previous ones at the health centre on Maison Dieu road.

Won't be taking any more covid vacinations, far too many people either having long term health problems or dying because of them. I'll take my chances with the mild flu like symptoms.

I logged on and found that the nearest walk in centre was in Essex. However, I could, and did, book for Monday this week at Whitfield. There weren't many there but nevertheless it took an hour!

Can you provide some information/links to back this up? It's difficult to find anything among all the articles about illness and death from covid, rather than the vaccine.

As I am totally housebound at the moment after a bad fall I have not looked up where I can go, if not available at the Health Centre or my doctor I will not bother. I only go out very occasionally so feel there is no rush, those I live with still take whatever jab is offered.

I will probably give it a miss. I think the US pharma companies have already made enough billions of dollars from us all. More people will probably die this winter from not being able to keep themselves warm rather than covid.

Mostly from ONS . Monthly mortality datasets, the yellow card reporting website, (i think the current thinking is that those figure can be doubled due to those who do not report or are unaware they can. Also from the over 2000 people who have applied for Vaccine Damage Payments.
The numbers dying, being left disabled or having long term adverse health effects may be low percentage wise, but for someone who is not in an at risk group and is otherwise very fit and healthy i would rather not risk an unknown.

What we don't want (in my humble opinion)
Is another outbreak

The same can be said for the Norovirus, Flu or numerous other bugs that can make us very ill but they do not seem to create so much panic as Covid which at the moment (for the majority) seems no worse than those previously mentioned.

Myself and carer got jabbed in C'bury en route to Waitrose this afternoon (20% off £80 spend - what's not to like?).
FWIW they are open on Monday from 08.30 for walk-ins - which is more than Wetherspoons is.

Apparently 'spoons are opening after the funeral. More than any supermarket I enquired in this morning (Friday off of a night shift). Completely thrown my shopping schedule this has.
To get back on thread, I had the first two jabs but missed the initial booster. Then went to a festival and inevitably caught it. For the second time. Should've, could've, would've had the booster.
Consequently ran out of (work provided) tests since, so I may have had it again for all I know.
Everyone seems to be acting like things are back to normal. I think as a country we may have have become distracted by other things recently.

I had mine in the village hall yesterday, wish I hadn’t! Jeez, I have felt absolutely awful all day. Never mind, tomorrow I’ll be fine I’m sure and worth it of course.
