I would go to the pharmacy that told you this that they are spreading false information, unless it is a reginal thing, because it certainly has not been stopped by the Government, had both mine today.

My pharmacist has told me that there are certain conditions that allow over 70 year old to have the COVID jab as the government has removed some of the conditions.

I'm booked for both tomorrow but it will depend on the criteria.

Asthma and diabetes is not eligible but being on steroids is. So, fingers crossed I'll get both done

He tried pharmacy first they said only 75 is eligible he has stage 3 COPD and asthma also he contacted his doctor and they stated only 75 year olds and people with weakened immune system will get it .

He is 71 and they definitely told him he would not get it this year his doctor told him government as changed criteria so it's not false .

70-year-olds may not be receiving the COVID-19 vaccine through a free NHS program in the UK because the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has changed the eligibility criteria, prioritizing those 75 and over and recommending different vaccination strategies than previous years. This shift has caused confusion, as 70-year-olds might have received boosters in the past but are now considered outside the high-risk group for the free service. However, individuals between 65 and 74 can often obtain the vaccine privately from high street pharmacies if they choose to get vaccinated

Those under the age of 75 aren't especially at risk from the C virus ... So there's no point in vaccinating them.

If you aren't eligible but worried for some reason ... Pay for it yourself.

The JCVI's annual advice said Covid-19 was now a "relatively mild disease for most people", with rates of hospitalisation and death having "reduced significantly". - your friend is no longer seen as the highest risk and therefore ineligible

The NHS has followed a really weird strategy. ChatGPT summed it up this way

Spring 2022 booster:

Limited to 75+, care-home residents, and immunosuppressed.

👉 This is the first point where most under-75s were not included.

Autumn 2022 booster:

Expanded again — included everyone aged 50+, frontline health/social care workers, and under-50s at higher clinical risk.

👉 So under-75s were included again here.

Spring 2023 booster:

Narrowed back down — 75+, care homes, immunosuppressed only.

Autumn 2023 booster:

Expanded again — included 65+, health/social care workers, and under-65s in risk groups.

Spring 2024 booster:

Narrowed again — 75+, care homes, immunosuppressed.

Autumn 2024 booster:

Expanded — included 65+ and some risk groups.

Spring 2025 & Autumn 2025 boosters:

Narrowed again — 75+, care homes, immunosuppressed.

Count yourself lucky I'd be the same in your shoes .

Are over 70s getting a COVID booster?

The free flu vaccine will be offered to those 65 and over this winter, in line with last year, but Covid boosters will only be given to people 75 and over - as well as those who are immunosuppressed

So people know I have people message me saying it's lies Google it and find out as I said NHS is not giving 70 year olds COVID vaccine it's for over 75 yr olds .

You can buy it from a chemist .

But before people call me a liar get your facts right.

Alas, no. Main things NI pays for

• State Pension – your future retirement pension.

• New State Pension top-ups – if you qualify through enough NI years.

• Maternity Allowance – for women who don’t qualify for Statutory Maternity Pay.

• Bereavement Support Payment – for widows/widowers.

• Contributory Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) – unemployment support (contribution-based).

• Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) – for those unable to work due to illness/disability (contribution-based).

🚫 Things NI does not pay for

• It doesn’t directly pay for the NHS (healthcare is funded mainly by general taxation, although NI originally helped fund it in 1948).

• It doesn’t cover housing benefit, universal credit, or other means-tested welfare (these are tax-funded).

I just love using AI!

Are people with COPD immunocompromised?

Medically reviewed by Adithya Cattamanchi, M.D. — Written by Zia Sherrell, MPH on May 31, 2022

What is COPD?

COPD and COVID-19

COVID-19 symptoms with COPD

Vaccination

Prevention

Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) collectively refers to a group of long-term, progressive lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties. Doctors may consider people with COPD to be immunocompromised, meaning they have a weakened immune system and are less able to fight infections, such as COVID-19.

People with other health conditions, such as AIDS, cancer, diabetes, malnutrition, and some genetic disorders, may also be immunocompromised.

Around 30 million people in the United States are living with COPD. As COVID-19 frequently causes mild to severe respiratory problems, people with COPD have a higher risk of developing a more severe form of illness because of their existing lung problems

You're a fool if you decide to take venom in your arm. it has been proven lately that the vaccines do more damage than protect you. You were forced to take them in 2020 before they were fully tested. Now they're being tested, and they are shown to cause a lot more damage. than the actual virus is meant to be protecting you from.

You succeeded in saying it while being both offensive and stupid. The Covid vaccine is neither poison nor venom. Nobody was FORCED to have it.

Like any vaccine, there are occasional people for whom it causes side effects - but they are a tiny proportion, and vastly more for whom it does not. You either fail or deliberately omit to take any account of that disparity, so your statement that "it has been proven that vaccines do more damage than protect you" is just plain wrong.

"You can still buy a Covid jab at a Chemist

Have you seen the price he is only a pensioner £99 .

If only the Tories hadn’t fast tracked the PPE contract for £122m which then didn’t deliver, maybe we’d have more money to spend on vaccinations. "

£122M doesn't begin to cover it. The bill for useless PPE is £3.4 billion. That would be an extra million every day for the next 10 years in public spending.

I can't say I honestly trust the government or the pharmaceutical companies any more than the internet! They all have their own agendas... and I'm pretty sure its not our welfare top of the lists! Medical drugs should not be allowed to be marketed like a can of beinz! It's too tempting for the share owner driven pharmaceutical companies to maximise profits above welfare! Even clinicians and pharmacies are on commission payments to sell and prescribe drugs to bloat profits! It's all wrong!!!

Whilst there is a lot of truth in what you say, there is one difference that there are rules and laws around the extent drugs companies can twist the truth and there are and have been significant penalties dished out for getting it wrong.

The same is not said for what you read online, that is truly unreferenced and absolutely written with agenda aforethought by people who are not our friends.

Over 80 percent of my coworkers refused to take the jabs and were threatened with being fired.

Everything about Covid 19 is a dirty secret that is only whispered about secretly in hospitals.

I have a chronic asthma, have caught the virus once and never again. I have not and will not take the shots or allow my family to do so.

You must not call people stupud for taking these therapies (therapies, not vaccines) as a climate of fear was nurtured across the globe and people, in their fear continue lustening to the State.

Many countries have banned the shots, the companies that produce them have admitted to culpability in deaths.

As a medical professional, i would never advise anyone not to have these shots. I would never advise them to take them. I can only say what i have chosen to do, knowing the full facts.

Pensioners seem to be loaded at the moment so they can well afford to pay for injections at the local pharmacy. Might be a good starting point to get people used to part privatisation of the NHS. The NHS locally offered a service to get rid of unused prescriptions. 3.3 tonnes came in within a month. What a waste.

I phoned 111 and they state 70 year olds will not get it .

Totally disgusting I know how my friend is stage 3 COPD could have a collapsed lung anytime and kidney damage .

Yes overweight and obese are inclusion criteria for vaccination, as is hypertension. They're QOF (previously known as the Chronic Disease Register) criteria and, hence, automatically included. Completely agree, however, that COPD exclusions are bizarre and I don't concur with them, though haven't done a deep dive into the more recent inclusion matrix as I no longer work in the area.

As we waste so many Influenza (and now SARS-COV)vaccines each year to the tune of £millions it seems barmy to exclude those who are willing to be (and have previously routinely been) vaccinated due to some esoteric scheduling change.

It’s a fair point, I find it hard not to switch off from anyone who opens with “as a X professional…” as you can tell they are trying to buy credibility before whatever they are about to say.

If you are highly qualified and cannot get credibility with your statements, that one is maybe your own fault or the fault of whatever is being said?

I can tell you pensioners are not loaded that's a fact .

Same guy ended up in hospital with collapsed lung because they stopped winter fuel.

And he couldn't afford to put heating on .

….”because they stopped winter fuel…”

Without context, I would say SHAME on his friends and relatives stopping his winter fuel.

Government not is friends his wife died same year so I totally feel for him . 😡"

Oh dear. Except, of course, In winter 2024/25, the government cut eligibility: only those receiving Pension Credit or certain means-tested benefits qualified in England & Wales. 

• However, from winter 2025/26 the government has confirmed the Winter Fuel Payment will be restored broadly, with eligibility for those born before 22 September 1959 in England & Wales. 

• But there is now a new income limit: if your taxable income is over £35,000, the payment may be recovered through the tax system (i.e. clawed back). 

• Scotland is different: the Winter Fuel Payment is not available there — instead, Scotland has its own equivalent scheme called the Pension Age Winter Heating Payment.

Thank you for reaching out to the COPD Foundation with your question and request for assistance!

About getting turned down for covid vaccine at age 71 years.

If a doctor has denied you a COVID-19 vaccine despite your illness being identified online as an immunosuppressing condition, you should seek a second medical opinion. Official guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) specifies that immunocompromised individuals are a priority group for the vaccine, and documentation of a condition is not required

I am sure this is what is going on here

The government has changed the rules on giving the COVID vaccine this year to the population free with medical advice. It has not been made clear to people very well who is going to get flu and COVID jabs. The most important thing is that you should follow the science and get what you are entitled to.

Never believe a word on the internet snake oil salesmen

I'm surprised this worked given the COPD foundation and the CDC are both entities if the USA, but good for you for fighting your friend's cause

Think really with his illness it was the kidney disease and collapsed lung and he has allergies essential tremors amongst other things .

Totally felt for him seen him at his worst. 😭.

I totally think his doctors where to strict because when I spoke to assistant she even said why with his illness slight cold put him in hospital with collapsed lung.

So what would COVID do to him bares thinking of .

But thank you ☺️ .

I'm no fan of this government nor any of the opposition parties, however i'm under 65 and had both my Flu and covid jabs for free last week in England. I'm not classed as vulnerable nor did I have to "Shield" during covid. I guess some of it depends on your medical history but worth checking with your doctors about eligibility rather than the chemists, it should be a clinical decision made by your GP rather than a one size fit all policy.

His doctors said he wasn't eligible he has had COVID vaccine from the start .

I booked him in through NHS and NHS 111 told him to go through the chemist doctors didn't have a clue especially his illnesses.

Totally felt sorry for the guy , seen him struggling with shopping out of breath so I helped him one day .

We chatted and he was concerned about his health .

Think anyone with a heart would of helped him .

But yer thanks I'd do it for anyone in same predicament. 😊
