The current spring booster season has been the first point when jabs have been available for people to buy privately
Lancashire residents are being offered no public health advice about whether they should consider paying for a Covid vaccine if they are not amongst the few groups now eligible for a free shot on the NHS , the Local Democracy Reporting Service can reveal. The current spring booster season, which is about to draw to a close, has been the first point during the pandemic that Covid jabs have been made available for people to buy privately.
Waning immunity as a result of the length of time since the majority of people were last vaccinated – coupled with the near-continual emergence of new variants – is thought to be fuelling the regular waves of Covid infection that still exist, but which now receive little public attention. The limited testing data now collected suggests once such a wave is just beginning – at the height of summer – so continuing Covid’s dogged defiance of slipping into a traditional seasonal pattern like flu.
The LDRS approached the three local authorities in Lancashire with responsibility for public health, along with local and national NHS bodies, to establish what advice was being offered regarding the purchase of a private Covid jab – and found that there was none.
