The government is confident booster jabs are key to getting back to normal life - what do others think?

The government hopes the booster programme will prevent the need for more restrictions, but what do those giving and receiving the jab think?GP Dr Peter Smye hopes the booster programme will speed up when more people are able to get to surgeries

The Pfizer vaccine requires Dr Smye to wait 15 minutes with the person after vaccinating, which is not needed with the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab. "The speed of the booster campaign is very necessary," he says. "I do think we will get there and the pace will pick up as the population understand the need for the booster campaign and as we come in to the easier cohort, the more mobile, who can come down to the surgery."

Bernard Abrey, 77, has arthritis which means he can no longer walk. He and his wife Dianna had their flu jab and Covid booster at their home in Bury St Edmunds. The 80-year-old feels it is important to stay vaccinated, saying: "When we had both I felt protected, we could invite people in which was great.Image source,Dianna and Bernard Abrey say they took up the offer of the booster when they were offered it

You cannot kill the virus waste of time

Fools

I think you could turn this headline I Ireland,you would think there is a template for what had been happening over last 18months

Jabs are the key to people realising 'they don't bloomin work' !!!

Depends how you define normal.

What happened to the confidence of the first jab… then the second jab… They failed us?

It will never be what it was. Nothing ever is.

Well, they said this about the vaccine roll out. Since that hasn't worked, we get more of the same empty assurances. The vaccine doesn't work. Oh it stops some from dying, but the vaxed are spreading this virus so what good will a booster do? And for whom?

I thought the 2 jags were a way to get back to normal?

I think they're hoping it will but we're the guinea pigs to test out this governments theory, not happy and worried.

I hear it's more effective if you take it in the ass.

Only way by this COVID-19. Is that everyone and upto 95% is fully vaccinated. No more choice. If you have COVID it's highly contagious. You may survive it unscathed but you could infect hundreds. If u give COVID19 enough time it changes&jabs won't work. So far over 10 types

As someone that has had both jabs you can shove the booster up your ass 3 jabs in less than a year I have had less for TB and for Tetanus (boosters over several years)

MrJamesMay isn’t getting any younger

Darwin would like to remind you of Natural Selection…….. good luck to those who don’t want a booster, more planet for us!

Remember when the vaccine was the 'key to return to normal life'...? That worked well, right?

Well if they are the key why haven’t I had mine yet I am in the category so why aren’t we seeing numbers being published about boosters the same as we did for vaccinations, is it just more rhetoric

This is a government that doesn't govern.

You own your body, take what you want or not. Just remember that the authorities do not own you.

I'm not against the jabs but isn't this what they told us about the second jab.

Others think you should try and do some real journalism

Giant scam to make money.

People lining up giving the arm, getting injected with who knows what? Let's just go back for a minute - where did this virus come from? Bats? No funded by the Americans in Chinese labs. Vaccines then appear from no where? Crimes against humanity.

Why use Pfizer which need special cooling facilities, therefore restricting the amount that small GP surgeries and pharmacy’s can hold

Israel now on their 4th Booster, 5th in the pipeline… Normal you say…

Well at the moment people are having problems getting it

DefundTheBBC

They was confident in the first two weeks wasn’t they ?

Normal life? Is this what normal life will be like from now on? I'll look on the BBC website for the latest developments. (if I can find any)

Bill Gates and Rockerfellow’s have gone to far this time

'Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?'

No, the booster is not enough and I thought it was available to specific groups only? Mask wearing should be compulsory too.

Yes. Friend saw anti-vaccine people handing out leaflets to school boys last week RutlishSchool Merton_Council

No confidence in the bloody government….

I thought it was James May

James May’s looking rough, nowadays.

I got double jabbed because it was my passport to normal life. Now I’m being threatened with more regulations unless I get a booster. What’s the point. All beginning to stink to me 🤷‍♀️

Lie: It doesnt protect you and it doesnt protect others.👋🏼👋🏼

Where is the new minister for vaccines? Why am l being told 4 different figures for entitlement to the booster jab? Is it 6 months? or 6 months + 1 week? or 180 days? or 182 days? Only one of those is correct (or maybe none). Why are we hearing anecdotally about this?
