Was reading that Moderna are in the final stages of sorting an omicron specific vaccine that they hope will be annual instead of the 6 months we're getting off the ones now, hopefully that will be offered this autumnbe surprised if there's not a dubble bubble flu/covid jab programme in autumn
Whats the daily death rate these days?
No shortage of pricks for you @becs.I'm getting my 6th jab in the autumn apparently.

Thanks for that.Down to around 300/week at the moment from what I can see, and most of those are elderly. That said, the figures show it was lower than that at this time of year in 2020 and 2021 when we obviously had restrictions in place.
We got through last year without a large peak after January so things aren't bad at the moment however you look at it.
I see what you did therebrillllllllllllllllllllliannnnnnnnnnnnnnt !
I understand that the Autumn booster programme will cover all those individuals who would receive the free flu jab.My personal case - I got my third jab last October. I can’t get a fourth as, even though only two of the five parts of my lungs are clear of bronchiectasis, I keep myself fit and don’t fall sufficiently into the at risk category (although more lung damage isn’t good to contemplate).
Unlike a flu jab, which I get automatically due to my condition, I also can’t pay for a covid booster, (which I’d be quite happy to do and for others who need it more or people means tested to get it free).
It seems that every day we are being urged to get boosted but for many of us this is not on the table.
I’m assuming it’s all down to decisions on costs and resources but we will have to hope that things don’t become more severe as it could be a false economy.
Have you a link to that? Hope it's right and I can get itLooks like the autumn booster is being opened up to 50+
