    The flu vaccine targets specific strains of the influenza virus. CoVid is a SARS virus. Both unrelated but with similar symptoms. If you have both you’ve been **** unlucky & I wish you well in your recovery.

    thx Ben
    when i went for the flu jab she asked me a few questions and then went off to get another vaccine because she said i needed a different one. i should have asked why but i could see they wanted to be in and out as there was a queue.

    My missus has been told that the flu jab can help the body fight against some of the symptoms of covid.
    Right or wrong?
    To me they are exactly the same symptoms except im getting nose bleeds. and thats not through excessive blowing.

    There is so much unknown and most people dont even know they've got or had it?
    Whenever i get flu im always on my death bed anyway so this is nowt new.

    Nose bleeds have been recognised as a symptom of Covid. If they persist & are prolonged you should seek medical advice / assistance.

    The flu vaccine will not attack the covid virus as it targets one of the influenza viruses. The covid (sars virus) is an unrelated virus.

    From speaking to a jab nurse they certainly weren't planning to cancel any that were already scheduled for second vaccines
    my Mum is in later this week (hopefully)

    There's been at least 4000 mutations in the spike protein of the coronavirus alone.

    my 89 year old mother still waiting for a first vaccination - seems to be a bit of a post code lottery

    Why? He has a wife & 3 young children here, only natural he would want to get back home to them. Wouldn’t you do the same?

    we'd heard the contrary and even a possible mix and match approach from the pfizer to the oxford.
    but again nothing definite just speculation.

    My 89 year old mum and dad were both offered a jab on day 2 of the initial vaccination round before Christmas, but only if they could get themselves to the KC. They’re both housebound and certainly he can’t even travel in any of their offspring’s cars any more. So they had to turn it down and are waiting for a home visit ‘sometime after Christmas’. Watch this space I guess.

    In terms of postcode lotteries they’re Bev Rd HU6.

    No, as I'm not a **** and I wouldn't risk giving my wife and children a new strain of a deadly virus (or anybody else's family for that matter).

    I’d ignore that & get some advice on your nose bleeds.

    Why does he think having a wife and 3 young children exempts him from the rules?
