This is really disappointing- only 41.8% of eligible people have taken up the offer of an RSV vaccine! London has the lowest take up- 34.2%. Takeup in some ethnic groups such as S Asian as low as 14.3%- this clearly stores MUCH more work needed to communicate about this vaccine & its benefits 🧪

Whatever the cause, we need to educate people better about the benefits
I encouraged my elderly aunt to have it (asthmatic, with poor lungs generally)
I’d have it myself (also asthmatic) if I could
All the PR of a lead balloon!
There have been too many clinical blunders over the years, especially now with a Gov’t anti-pensioner.
What concerns me greatly: a ‘trial vaccine’ was to be used, for something about which I had been completely unaware.
So no sale!
That said getting both Covid & flu jabs on the same day back in October was a mistake.
At 76 I thought my end was near, for a week.
Never again a double jab.
Anyway I am not well enough to go to the doctor now.
I’m still waiting.
What's the reason for 79 as the upper age limit? ..
