    It's a good start, and nice to know that UK vaccination might start very soon.

    There is still too much contradictory "information" about Vaccination passports. They make good sense to me, especially if they make it easier to board a flight, enter a foreign country without quarantine, or even enter a pub for a pint. Can you still remember the pubs?

    I expect that the Philippines will be a long way behind the UK, it seems to be the middle of next year before there is much hope of vaccination.

    I had a text last Friday asking me if I would like a FLU vaccination. Still not decided if I can be bothered.

    Frankly, ... ... I think that after more than nine months of tough restrictions, most folk will be only too grateful to take advantage of [almost] ANYTHING that offers a 94-95% chance of a return to normality.

    Hmm ................................................................... this winter especially, all people aged 65 and over - and those with underlying health conditions - will be well~advised to avail themselves of their seasonal 'flu inoculation!

    I still have my vaccination card/'passport', from the 1950s (before heading off to Singapore, to join my dad).

    They are nothing new, and make a lot of sense. (We've had them for pet animals for quite a while too).

    I just hope people don't start 'faking' them, and screwing it up for the honest majority.

    Not something to be taken lightly.

    My Mother was offered the miracle thalidomide pill before I was born..
    Fortunately for me, she declined.
    If people want to take this new rushed through un proven vaccine then thats fine with me.
    Personally, I will opt out and encourage my Kids to do the same.

    Got my flu jab booked for high noon tomorrow.

    The best injection I ever had was a Yellow Fever injection when I was in Panama.

    The nurse was a very petite Hispanic lady, black as the ace of spades, unable to speak a word of English and babbling incessantly in Spanish.

    She moved in like a hummingbird, one quick stab and it was over.

    N.B. For those fond of a tipple, consumption of alcohol - from the time of receiving the vaccine - is most strongly discouraged on medical & scientific advice ... until at least 3 full days' have passed!
