Why has the eligibility for covid jabs been changed?
Discussion
This was mentioned on the bbc this morning
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm28q5gqvppo
I was expecting to get both flu and covid jabs but found I wasn't eligible for the latter so what has actually changed, has covid-19 disappeared? I think not but you can actually pay privately for a covid jab now which is new so assume the NHS changed the rules to save money.

The recommendations for who should get it on the NHS were changed by the JCVI ( https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/joint-committ... ), so it isn't the NHS being tightwads. They're just implementing recommendations.
Private jabs have been available for a couple of years, I paid for one last year and am booked in for a private booster next week.

They'll change them again before the year is out, they'll have loads of vaccinations left and will offer them to lower age groups.
I doubt that, it is very obviously cost cutting and not life saving based, pushing more people to go private, all those private health adverts are no coincidence in my mind lol, get fed up with waiting for anything and everything then pay yourself, last two procedures I needed were referred to private hospitals, I think they are working together to push private care .abzmike said:

Sounds sensible, why waste precious NHS money on something that is no longer a problem?
It is still a problem from the perspective of hospital beds being blocked up by elderly folk with covid, so if that can me reduced then seems sensible.abzmike said:

The jab is now more of a placebo than a vaccine.The slow and deliberate removal of those eligible demonstrates this.
This is a managed unwinding of the fear the medical community and Government created in 2020/21

Oddly, I'm not eligible for a shingles jab...
I can't make it make sense either.
According to the NHS you should be, pester your GP:I can't make it make sense either.
