Comment on Covid booster jabs to be approved for sale to UK public

  How’s this any different to flu at this point? I’ll admit, vulnerable people should get them for free like flu jabs, but everyone doesn’t need a free booster anymore.

    Are flu shots not given for free to the elderly in the UK? Do they have to actually buy them?

      Yes, they are offered for free. If you are elderly, pregnant, immunosuppressed, live/care for vulnerable people, or have a variety of other health conditions including asthma, you get offered a free flu jab every autumn on the NHS .

      Yes, they are free. Same as COVID for that age range.
