Covid vaccination eligibility

I've just been invited for flu & Covid jabs, I think it said for all over-55s?

Would having had tongue cancer (but no radio/chemo) tip the balance for them to invite me again?

Maybe. 
I’ve had a few. Not bothering with any more. 

I cannot see it causing any issues teee7, i have had the three recommended Covin jabs but always have a flu jab every year from my chemist for free. Take care.

I think as they get more of the vaccines much more easily the criteria for vaccination has been eased so it is quite likely you now fall into that group.  My wife is not eligable on the age criteria but has been invited as she was my registered carer during treatment so got last year's doses and i guess they have just gone down the list from last year.

I am not yet over 55.....

thanks Peter, that makes sense. Happy to accept the offer of the jab if they are deciding I am eligible!

Hi Chris, I am always happy to accepte any jab on offer, just curious as to why now. I had assumed "just cancer" was not a qualifying trigger.

I would ask at your next team meeting whether you can have the flu/covid jabs for free.. 

Covid is free. Have already had flu jab (paid at S'drug)

check to see if you can get it free in the future..
