Resourcefulness: The budgeter's friend

@foxgloves - I hope you don't mind me hopping in on your thread, about the statement above, about C0vid vaccines

As I am one of the immunosuppressed who has the jab, as well as one of those who reacted badly to the M0derna back in the day, I keep on top of the topic.  The free NHS vaccine this year provides good protection against the circulating variants, such as 'Stratus' and 'Nimbus'. The private vaccine is intended for those not eligible for a free NHS jab, but it is not for covering different strains.  The reason I am abreast of this is that before my OH's recent diagnosis, meaning he too is now immunosuppressed so will get an NHS jab, he was affected by the raising of age from 65 to 75 so we would have had to pay so we did research to find out about the private jab to make sure it was the same jab and also to find out the extortionate private costs involved!

An ironic aside, my brother-in-law across the pond works for the company that provides these vaccines, and he doesn't get free jabs either because of the province he lives in.  Most of my family who live in a difference province can receive the jab for free!
