Daughter was wiped out for around 48 hours, booster was the worst. She needs it for work though so hasn't got an option.

This comments perplexes, who honestly gets a annual flu jab below the age of 50?
Making it an annual jab would be quite the societal shift.

Hardly built in obsolescence. is it Where's the evidence that waning is "built in".
Coronaviruses are well known for reinfection in a short space of time.
Paranoid nonsense.
Indeed. Annual covid boosters make total sense for the over 70’s (just stick them in with your flu jab). How many 20’s year olds have routinely had annual flu jabs? And what’s the evidence it’s necessary?

Literally millions and millions in England alone.
Preschool, primary school, health and social care workers, carers, those living in houses with immunocompromised and those with underlying health problems like asthma, copd and diabetes.

You’ve missed the point, it’s quite different from everyone getting an annual flu like jab.
The flu jab is 1 in 6, it get it’s a lot of people but my comment stands.

Me. I've got Asthma and have had an annual flu jab for years. Oh and my son and most of his school.

You didn't make a point, you asked who gets it. I responded with those who get it from the NHS for free.
What about the millions of people not eligible through the NHS who get it through work, or pay privately at local pharmacies.
If it's deemed necessary by JVCI and people get it, it's no societal shift at all. It's the whole purpose of the JCVI and exactly what has happened with flu vaccine uptake this year.

Me. Congenital heart disease discovered at 27, been getting flu jab since my 30s.
Transplanted now, so had my 4th Pfizer jab last week. No depression to report.

Yes, like 229E, OC43 and NL63 for instance.

Would rather have a Pfizer booster next time.
I would hope after 2022 we move to a yearly jab for the people who need it.

I would imagine that it will be similar to the flu in the sense that it mutates regularly. I don't think having one variant gives you much more protection against different variant. Not sure how that effects natural immunity though, someone who has done more research probably can.

Since getting a really bad dose of the flu when I was 41, I’ve had it for the last 6 years and I’ve no underlying issues. Anecdotal but I know loads of folk my age who do the same.
