Covid Mk ll

one issue i foresee being a problem, and im going to end up explaining this badly. for shots with a high vaccination rates, eg, measles, only 1 or 2 shots are required for life.

what vaccinations are required yearly? influenza. lets look at influenza vaccinations rates around the world. it's low. i dont have specific figures, its just low. about 75% in australia, one of the best in the world.

year in and year out, can do expect covid vaccinations rates to be any better?

Tetanus is every 5 - 10 years, hepatitis A and B is 6 years, some of the other shots I have to travel overseas are recurring but without looking up my yellow book I can't tell you what they are...

yes but i think your missing my badly explained point.
the influenza shot is the closest things we have in terms of a regular and ongoing shot. maybe lets using the past as an experience of how the future with a similar situation is going to turn out.

My new Federal structure would resolve these issues.

Morrison basically said that today - it sounds awfully like because they've lost control in Sydney they're just going to let it rip.

Which undermines everything we've been doing for the last 18 months.

Registration for vaccination for 16 - 40 year olds on the 30th of August.

We've discussed this with my 16 year old and she's happy to be Pfizered, so we'll register her to be done as soon as possible.

That would leave just one member of our family - the youngest - unvaccinated.

You don't understand the 'flu vaccine. It is not a booster, it is a different vaccine each year, targeting the most commonly anticipated strains.

Our daughters, 16 and 18 are also keen to be vaccinated ASAP (with Pfizer, not much interest in AZ)

are you expecting the covid booster to be based upon the same original strain?
i was hoping it gets updated for delta and other strains.

When the unvaccinated start dying like flies - and it's only the unvaccinated who are dying overseas - then I'd guess that you'll see very high vaccination rates.
