I tried to get a Covid vaccination in Scotland, I rang every pharmcy across the Highlands and Islands, no one, not one, is doing vaccines 'until autumn' and even then only Pfizer, and maybe not even then. And then only in Aberdeen. It was suggested I ask my GP to prescribe a dose privately. Flat out refusal. Apparently they 'don't do that sort of thing'. In the end I found an appointment (only Pfizer) in Edinburgh but before I could get there my partner brought Covid home from a Conference. He said he had been careful, wore a mask etc, but the conference had nothing, no air filters, nothing...

I'm wiped out, I'm sure you all know the symptoms, with the added fun of my diabetes being trashed :(

Even when we try to do 'you do you' it seems we cannot win.

And now Covid is everywhere, in the hospitals, my family in Suffolk, suddenly this week, everyone seems affected, so I think the next reports will show rising levels and I think I read Scotland is going to increase surveillance to weekly and in Worcester they are back to wearing baggy blues in the hospitals?

Will people ever get sick of being sick for the sake of 'normailty'?

Doo you have any knowledge about what mRNA vaccine we should hope for in the Autumn? Should we hope it is against the latest strain such as KP.3 or would it be better if it were against the parent strain LN. 1 so as to protect more widely?
