I guess that’s one way for government and NHS to reduce future social healthcare costs...?! It would be interesting to learn which vaccine MP over 65, 70, are being provided with? Versus wider vaccine rollout? My guess is that elderly MP etc will be accessing the 4-strain vaccine

Why is the quadrivalent adjuvanted vaccine not available? What has caused this? It is not good enough to leave older people unprotected like that, especially the elderly who are extremely vulnerable during flu season.

It is a waste of taxpayer money then.

Exactly the opposite of what the expert telling people to get vaccinated said on the radio this morning. They said there was an improved one this year that was effective in old people. Dangerous mixed messages being given now.

No shit Sherlock. ??
