Why is it that everything has to be free ie paid for by taxpayers ? Sometimes people taking personal responsibility will greatly help reroute monies to other places mostly needed. It costs £0.99 for 30 tablets of vitamin d at Poundland!! FHS!!!!

Scotland sent the letters out months ago to people that have been shielding up to July 19 vitamin D will be sent out to them as they have had less sunlight this year.

This has been known for months. But our Big State takes ages to catch up.

No at those out of date, too low dosage levels it won't!

Oh ffs...they've only just cottoned on? They should have been pushing this from the beginning, would probably have saved many lives. Also there's things ppl can do to boost their immune system to protect them from the virus, which the gov are not making ppl aware of.

The same vitamin D that Matt Hancock wrongly claimed had been proven to be ineffective in a Government funded study ? anyone would think he’s not fit to be health Secretary

I take vitamin D and zinc daily. Also instead of being in twitter I should be out running in the sunshine!

Can’t believe you’ve reported it like this when Reuters report research that proves vitD is not effective against Covid19. It’s being distributed bc of lack of exposure to sunlight

I am really confused about the government advice today concerning vitamin D, I have been taking vit D and also advising everybody I know to be taking vitamin D since February. You should specially be taking vitamin D if you are BAME.

Yet too much can cause vitamin d toxicity. If you get out in fresh air for more than 15min a day you are not deficient

SnowiBee I have been saying this for months!

Where is the evidence?

It’s all about the T CELLS!! game changer, and the reason kids are less affected... look into the Thymus gland

I think the UK needs a bit more than Free Vitamin D.

Way too little. In Germany they suggest 40,000 IU a week in winter.

Just note Iodine is the best for Breast and Prostate care...

Scotland announced this exactly one month ago...

9 months too late ScumMedia

Better late than never, you need to take zinc as well

What is this FREE I'm always hearing about.

You cant just give people Vitamin D. The vulnerable are on so much medication already. Does their condition tolerate it? My condition is made worse by vitaminD and requires regular blood tests.

I just read today they don’t work.

Months behind Scotland
