Product Information

This natural immunity from having an illness doesn’t usually last as long as the immunity given by a vaccine, so it’s recommended that if you’ve had coronavirus you do still get a vaccine. After six months, this is good progress for the implementation of a programme of this size. We always knew the transition process would take time and this has been central to our planning. Volunteers are then monitored closely to determine whether people catch the disease and if there are any side effects. Monitoring continues to determine how long immunity lasts. The Government sets the criteria for Pension Credit and further detail from the Department for Work and Pensions can be found here. It might be that you're offered both at the same time. This is perfectly safe and could be more convenient for you.

About 1 in 7 older customers are left to transition either by buying a licence or claiming a free licence paid for by the BBC. The third stage of testing involves tens of thousands of volunteers. Some are randomly selected to receive the vaccine and some receive a placebo. Neither the scientists or volunteers know who gets selected for each. Any vaccine offered to you has been licensed and approved and has gone through all the necessary stages of development to make it safe and effective. Any side effects you experience can also be reported to the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme by your doctor. Your healthcare professional is there to answer any questions or worries you might have about the vaccine.We wrote to people twice last year. In August we wrote to all over 75 customers who had previously held a free licence explaining the simple steps they needed to take to apply for a paid or free licence. A reminder letter was sent to a much smaller group in October and November to help remaining customers get set-up. No one needs to leave their home to get set-up. Arrangements can be made via post, online or via a dedicated phone line on 0300 790 6117

Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine latest information | Age UK

Research has shown that the protection the vaccines provide starts to lessen as time goes on. Booster vaccines have also been amended to protect you from more recent variants, so it's important that everyone who is eligible goes and gets their booster. Do I need to get my flu vaccine too? The NHS prepared a vaccination programme so that it could start vaccinating people as soon as vaccines were approved and available. No one in this group would have received any other letters unless we were in active dialogue with them as part of the transition process. No visits have been authorised to anyone who had previously held a free over-75s licence. This policy has been in place since August last year. There have been reports of other countries pausing their rollout of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to certain groups. The MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) in the UK, the European equivalent, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the World Health Organisation (WHO), are all confident of the safety and effectiveness of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine and agree that the benefits outweigh any risks.Scientists identify the specific antigen to the virus that causes the disease, then develop a vaccine to trial. Wherever a vaccine is developed, it must be granted approval by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) if it's to be used in the UK. They examine the available information about the vaccine, how well it works and whether it’s safe before giving approval. Once approved and licensed, the vaccine needs to be produced in large enough quantities before finally being given to the population. How you’re feeling and whether you have any symptoms that would stop you from being able to have the vaccine. After vaccination, if the virus gets into our body, our immune system remembers what to do and produces antibodies to fight it. This means the infection doesn’t get a chance to take hold and we are immune to the virus. Vaccination means we can stimulate this immunity without becoming unwell with the disease in the first place. Anyone aged over 75 and receiving Pension Credit is eligible for a free TV Licence, paid for by the BBC.

While your body may have built up some natural immunity to coronavirus if you’ve already had it, we don’t know for certain how long this immunity lasts or how well it protects you from catching it again. Traditional vaccines contain either a modified or weakened form of the virus, including the antigen. Some vaccines which use newer technology contain the genetic code for the virus’ antigen instead, so your body produces the antigen itself. Both methods have the same result: they prompt our immune system to make antibodies that ‘match’ the antigen.

Last year, over 10 million people trusted us to help them with some of the biggest issues in their lives. Learn more about how we help. How your support helps If you fit any of the above groups and haven't had your first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, you can still get it during the autumn booster period. Why do we need booster jabs? If you’ve found information that looks like it could be legitimate, but you aren’t sure, see if you can find it from other reputable and trusted sources. It is unlikely that only one source has a true story about coronavirus. We know there have been a small number of cases in which there has been a delay or the transition process has not been straightforward.

Here's how, with your support, Age UK is supporting older people through the cost of living crisis. It’s recommended that pregnant women should only receive the vaccine in certain circumstances. Children shouldn't get the vaccine at the moment, either. This is simply because it hasn't yet been tested on these groups. Initial tests take place to see if a vaccine is safe and will lead to immunity. These tests will take place ‘in vitro’ (in a group of cells which have been grown in a laboratory and aren’t part of an animal) or ‘in vivo’ (in animals).We have implemented these transitional arrangements with the greatest care and have worked to make the process as fair and straightforward as possible. We have also been very mindful to operate in a Covid-safe way. Overall, customer satisfaction levels remain high - as measured by independent assessment and industry best practice.
