Thanks @teamlabouruk.bsky.social and #JCVI. Just discovered that despite being classed as Clinically Extremely Vulnerable I'm no longer eligible for a Covid booster. Am I no longer at "severe risk of illness" (initial warning text words not mine) if I catch it? 🤔

@calvinbailey.bsky.social
I don’t know whether MPs can do anything about this.
@wesstreeting.bsky.social ???
I suppose it’s a #JCVI decision?
And no one seems to be able to question them.

Rebecca Fishbein @bfishbfish.bsky.so. Follow Excited to see how they try to kill U.S. next Josh Marshall @joshtpm.bs..•1h BREAKING: FDA says covid boosters now only for those over 65 or with preconditions. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f..
Please note
This has been U.K. policy for the last few years
This is how bad the #UKHSA and the #JCVI are.
They have been implementing Robert F Kennedy Jr’s policies on Covid vaccination since 2023

This review alone should make the @ukhsa.bsky.social, the @rcpch.bsky.social, & the #JCVI review their attitude to Covid in children and the bizarre decision to decline children in the U.K. the protection afforded by Covid immunisation

Unfortunately @RCPCH.bsky.social & #JCVI continue to minimise risks to babies & children posed by Covid19
They minimised it during the height of the pandemic, even getting chummy with UsForThem, & now cannot change course without admitting their errors
Hence the UK’s ridiculous vaccine strategy

Man in pharmacy said he’d been trying for 6 weeks. Phones surgery, gets told to try pharmacies, pharmacists say try surgery.
#JCVI where’s the hold-up?

Just about sums up the worse than useless #UKHSA & #JCVI
@ukhsa.bsky.social
“…a Vax only strategy without Vax”
It is actually quite funny, but I can’t laugh because people are suffering & dying

Why has #JCVI restricted #Covid vaccination from 2025? Issuing a more restricted list than eligibility for flu vax doesn’t make sense when the outcomes are worse & benefits are so great especially during pregnancy.
Have a read of this @karambales.bsky.social piece.

And let’s not charge them a £100!
Some can’t afford it and others will think if they have to pay it can’t be worth it.

Can someone please show this to the UK #JCVI (joint committee on vaccination & immunisation)
whose child Covid immunisation policies make little sense
(Except to protect their reputations from their bad GBD/UsForThem-driven decisions on children earlier in the pandemic)

The eligibility criteria changed on 1 September 2023. You’ll be eligible for a free shingles vaccine once you turn 65 following this date and will remain eligible until you turn 80. However, if you turned 65 before this date, you'll have to wait until you turn 70 to be eligible for the vaccine.
Can someone, anyone , explain this insane #JCVI policy
@sheencr.bsky.social any thoughts?
My oh turned 65 just before the cut off
Currently about 3 million younger people can get the vaccine up to 4 yrs before he can
No wonder we’ve had recent measles & whooping cough epidemics

#AdultsSeasonalBoosters
In Ireland: 'adults will be offered a booster dose if age 50 or older' @HSELive
In UK, #JCVI advises
'adults age 75 years and over, be offered a COVID-19 vaccine this spring' @UKHSA
This policy is potentially discriminatory? @age_uk

#AdultsSeasonalBoosters
So, @UKHSA, in Ireland:
'adults will be offered a booster dose if: aged 50 or older', @HSELive
But in the UK, #JCVI advises
'adults aged 75 years and over, be offered a COVID-19 vaccine this spring.'
Defies evidence-based reasoning?

'UK COVID-19 vaccination programme began Dec 8, 2020. As of Jun 1, 2022, the vaccine schedule recommended by UK's #JCVI consisted of:
💉One dose for those aged 5–11 years
💉Two for 12–15 years
💉Three for 16–74 years, and
💉Four for 75 years and older.'

From @CDCMMWR: The hospitalization rate among unvaccinated adolescents (aged 12–17 years) was 10X higher than that among fully vaccinated adolescents.

Ugh. 12-15-year-olds in the UK are about to get their immunity the hard way.
Can anyone tell me why short of a rec for universal vaccination in this group, parents can't be given the choice to vaccinate their children w/ an MHRA approved vaccine? #jcvi...

Great @FT article (sadly behind a paywall). TLDR:
*There doesn't seem to be vaccine shortage
*#JCVI has said the 8wk gap will "avoid confusion and simplify booking, and will help to ensure a good balance between achieving rapid and long-lasting...
