NHS: Over 65s may have been given the wrong flu jab and will be given a chance to get the right one

Editors note: This article discusses the NHS and vaccines and is in no way anti-vax however we felt this was very appropriate to share and concerning. If you suspect or may have concerns about the jab you may have received related to the flu.

NHS officials are scrambling this week to reverse a huge blunder involving over 65s who had recently gotten their usual flu jabs. According to the government, somewhere along the line, a small group of people received a less effective standard egg culture influenza vaccine (QIVe), which is known to be less effective as a whole. People who got this jab will be offered a new opportunity to get the correct vaccine though how this happened remains under investigation.

Officials typically don’t recommend this for this age group due to its lack of strong protections.
