Another false promise from the government and the HSE.. surprise surprise
@LFCMAD_94: Typical. Blame the HSE and our government fir a worldwide shortage of the flu vacine.
@Alan: did I blame them for shortages? I blamed them for promising things they will never deliever
@LFCMAD_94: typical person who didn’t read the article before posting
@Alan: don’t think it is the HSE or government fault.. BLAME the pharmaceutical company’s greed.. the uk seem to have enough. What are we being charged? What are other countries being charged? I smell foul play.. and greed .
The ceo of hse Paul Reid should be sacked. He comes on TV as if he runs the hse without fault. He is a W a s t e r with no health background and get paid an absorbent amount to push paper and read out prepared statements on tv that are written for him. He can’t even get the flu vacine right,when he new this was coming .
A total waste of money that a monkey could do his job.
No issue here rang my Dr a week ago for flu jab had my appointment Tuesday gone. Both my parents only had to wait a few days my friend only had to wait a few days and got both his flu jab and pneumonia jab.
@Tom Harpur Photography: Someone give this man his medal.
@Tom Harpur Photography: lucky you.. none in the north east
If you could get through to the gp it might help.
This country is the biggest joke. Encouraging everyone to get the flu vaccine and not even having enough for the most vulnerable. Absolute shambles
@Toni: try actually reading the article.
Flu cases are going to plummet this year anyway with all this social distancing. Flu is not as contagious as COVID.
@J: and it’s the same cohort that is at risk from Covid. So they are unlikely to be hit with the flu and Covid at separate times
@Anne Marie Devlin: why?
@J: Most flu variants would be just as contagious as Covid, but dont spread as widely due to limited opportunity. The majority of people infected with Covid can be walking around and interacting with others while having little or no symptoms for the entirety of their infection. The majority of people infected with a flu virus will have nasty, fast onset symptoms which means they will be at home in bed and interacting with very few within hours of the symptoms first appearing. I’ve only had flu twice in my life with the last time being roughly 25yrs ago, but its an illness you don’t forget in a hurry.
“In contrast to COVID, children are vectors for flu”. This is ridiculous. Of course children spread COVID. Not their fault but they spread everything. As a mother myself, I have first hand experience of this. Not saying we should close schools but thinking that kids don’t spread it is serious denial.
One thing this pandemic showed was that the medical system in France isn’t quite as good as people thought it was, but we can still get the flu vaccine free at any pharmacy….
@David Stapleton: only if they have a supply!!
Any update on the flu vaccine supply situation? Looks like loads of vulnerable people are not going to be able to get it this year
have your say
