Comment on LPT: Go get a shot, now.

I never said they were a bad thing. Just never heard of people getting them who aren’t elderly. Generally because it’s something you have to pay for and nobody likes needles anyway.

I’m surprised a country with free health care doesn’t provide free vaccines.
If US insurance companies cover vaccines, you can bet your ass they’ve done the math and it saves them money over just paying for the people that get sick…

The UK government has been systematically destroying its healthcare system for a while now.

They do provide vaccines. Just not for flu specifically.

Jeez, that sucks. I always get my flu shot (I live in Germany). My Insurer allows me to get the one against 4 strains of the flu virus. Usually you’re only entitled to the one against 3. Covid shots however are usually restricted to old people I believe.
