This year, the autumn roll out of Covid jabs on the NHS is a lot more restrictive. Not everyone is eligible. Far from it. The elderly can get it, of course. By elderly, we are talking about the over 65s. Front line care workers can get the jab. And people who are vulnerable due to … Continue reading Jab Four
Tomorrow marks the third anniversary of the start of the pandemic as far as I’m concerned. Different people will have different dates. The WHO gave us an official date.
