Britain Set to Carry Out Largest Flu Vaccine Roll-Out in Its History This Winter

3 min read

Encouraged by its large Covid vaccine programme, Britain will carry out the largest flu vaccine roll-out in its history this winter, with all secondary school pupils and children aged two and three set to be offered vaccines. Officials expect that, altogether, 35 million people could be vaccinated against seasonal flu this year and that Covid and flu vaccines will continue to be given for “years to come”. MailOnline has the story.

NHS England and Improvement, and Public Health England have issued the 2021-2022 annual flu letter to providers, outlining their plans for this year’s expanded programme.

From September, 35 million people including all secondary school students up to Year 11, children aged two and three on August 31st, all primary school children, people aged 50 and over, pregnant women, unpaid carers, and frontline health and adult social care staff will be eligible for the free jab.

The drive will build on last year’s expanded flu programme, which saw a record 19 million jabs being administered.

[Health Secretary Sajid] Javid encouraged all those eligible to get their flu jab when they are called.

“Flu can be a serious illness and we want to build a wall of protection by immunising a record number of people,” he said. 

“With the nation getting closer to normal life, we must learn to live with Covid alongside other viruses and we’re offering the free flu jab to millions more people to help keep them safe this winter.

“The phenomenal scale of the Covid vaccination programme is a clear demonstration of the positive impact vaccination can make and I encourage all those eligible to get their flu jab when called forward.”

Public Health England medical director Dr Yvonne Doyle said the upcoming flu season will be “highly unpredictable” combined with “the likelihood that Covid will still be circulating”.

The flu programme is expected to be delivered alongside any booster programme for Covid vaccinations.  

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation is expected to publish its final advice on the Covid booster jab programme later this summer. …

In a letter sent to senior leaders, GPs and hospital bosses earlier this month, NHS England said health systems should be preparing to deliver booster doses of the coronavirus vaccination between September 6th and December 17th. 

NHS Providers Chief Executive Chris Hopson said people will [need] to be vaccinated for flu and coronavirus for “years to come”.     

“Rolling out a flu programme of this scale alongside a Covid booster campaign will take a huge amount of planning, collaboration and commitment, particularly from primary care,” he said.  

“It is incredibly ambitious in its scale and complexity, and while we have no doubt the NHS can meet this challenge, we do need to think about how we enable NHS staff to carry out this programme while meeting the other pressures they face.

“We’ll be vaccinating against flu and Covid for years to come so let’s put our approach on a sustainable footing as soon as possible.”

Covid has been turned into a brand name, for something scarey that the Government can ‘protec’t you from. People like Johnson are just so competent that you can trust your health to them..

In my East Mids town, they’ve taken over part of the town centre car park with portacabins, with big sign saying ‘Covid testing’. It keeps the fear going, as there must be something bad out there, right?

Of course, most of us on here are sceptics. In other words, we want to understand and check out something. Use our brain, rather than swallowing the Covid storyline, and know it’s all about exerting control on others (and maybe killing off many due to poison jabs).So called Covid 19 never was a real danger to the healthy. The Government’s relentless propaganda and pushing very dangerous so called vaccines was the real threat.

As the mRNA jabbed fall in this autumn and winter, expect the fear machine to crank up and brand a new variant to be frightened of and the boot of tyranny to be pressed hard on our necks again. Anything rather than admit the death and destruction is from the Government’s own actions (and those self appointed… Read more »

There was research last year showing that among those most at risk from Covid-19 were the people whose immune system had been degraded or suppressed by earlier flu-shots. So by giving yet more folks these shots, Covid will continue to create bad outcomes….which leads to booster shots, which results in…..a Big Pharma money spinner!! Big Pharma’s best customers are those deluded people (and politicians) who believe that they can beat (or manage) natural processes, while the control remedy they promote actually worsens these inevitable and uncontrollable processes.

Being over 60 I have, over the last few years, had the ‘flu vaccine on a regular basis; but not last year.

Nor have I had – or want – any of the Covid vaccines. Nor do I want to have the ‘flu vaccine in future either.

I just do not trust anyone in government or the health service to tell the truth, and I do not believe that these vaccines will not do me harm, or that benefits outweigh the risks.

I have blithely accepted the safety of these vaccines without question in the past; but no longer. I remember the thalidomide scandal only too well.

Being coerced into having a medical procedure you don’t want is a war crime, for which we prosecuted at Nuremberg; now our own government is suggesting that we adopt the methods of Dr Mengele for Covid ‘vaccines’ – will this now apply to ‘flu ‘vaccines’ in the future?

Will they also be on your vaccine ‘passport’/ID card? What is the end point?

The result for me? I won’t be having any other ‘vaccination’ for anything ever again; they do not just lie, they do not tell the truth either.

Really?? Oh my, what a surprise, didn’t see that comng! Doh! Looks like they’re intending to mop up those of us they didn’t get this time.

I’m down for a shingles jab tomorrow – this is not a new, untested vaccine – but such is my level of distrust that I’m probably goiung to cancel it.

This is madness on madness.
It has either been forgotten or suppressed that the new shiny quadrivalent flu vaccine was pumped into the elderly in northern Italy just as the sars arrived in winter 2019/20. There is something called vaccine interference which basically means that you can’t fight on two fronts as effectively as on one you simply don’t have the ‘ammo’. So as these elderly Italians were fighting the vaccine they were hit by a virus that many of them couldn’t defeat.
[This interference has also been noted in a U S military study]
Anybody offered a flu jab this winter should tell the person offering it to shove it where the sun don’t shine.

I’ve had a flu jab every year for decades, including just before Hong Kong flu, but last autumn I was unable to get one anywhere. So much for “the expanded flu programme, which saw a record 19 million jabs being administered”!

If there really is a depopulation agenda via “vaxxines” and the UK government knows it cannot now mandate coronavirus vaxxines in school for children, how do we know the flu vax they will give to children really is for flu? And not the coronavirus vax under another name?

So they will be vaccinating against influenza and coronavirus for years to come, will they? Huge paydays coming up for Big Pharma then! Suffice to say they won’t be earning any more money out of me and my body. I’m done. Stay away from doctors. I’ve done that for 20 years and am the fittest person I know. Learn proper medical herbalism, treat yourself, it’s much better that way.

Well. This was always going to happen, it won’t stop with the flu vaccine. Which will do nothing for the vast vast majority of those that get it. Even at its best it has an efficacy of just 30% why bother?

Get the colds and flu naturally. Not the mututated variations all of these flu vaccines will create.

Who would do this to a 2 year old.

There was talk recently about having the booster in one arm and the flu vaccine in the other, same appointment. Last year, they were a bit more cautious and said the C injection couldn’t be given within a week/ 10 days / 14 days of the flu vax. Now they are throwing caution to the wind and suggesting same day! How can adverse effects be recorded then? Not that any notice will be taken. Both of the c**p injections will be said to be ‘safe and effective’.

Well:

a) They won’t have any idea which flu variants to expect – hence they will be close to useless vaccinations.
b) Although, being over 65, I have in the past had a couple of the flu vaccinations, I no longer trust that the government and NHS will deliver what they claim to be delivering.
c) Heavens, yet more of tax payer’s money to be burnt up for very little, if any, benefit!

So this is about vaccine passports. If you can’t get children on them via Covid because some will die, and the fallout could be huge, then get them via the flu vaccine. Then the usual childhood shots go on – you get your vaccine passport at birth. Without one you are not a citizen.

And of course massive more profits for flu vaccine manufacturers. And flu testing introduced. And what financial links are there between Sage and government members and these? Not for us to know.

According to Matt Hancock in early September last year, the ‘covid’ test is universal and also identifies other winter viruses.

https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/matt-hancock-unveils-plan-tackle-4475460

He told the Commons about the new “rapid test for coronavirus and other winter viruses that’ll help provide on-the-spot results in under 90 minutes helping us to break chains of transmission quickly”

“These tests do not require a trained health professional to operate them, so they can be rolled out in more non-clinical settings.”

There will be a lot of excess deaths this winter. They will arrive in three categories. 1. Normal flu deaths plus excess flu deaths due to immune systems being compromised owing to masks, isolation, distancing. 2. Deaths due to NHS denying treatment to cancer, dementia, heart disease etc patients. 3. Deaths due to injections which will take the form of pathogen priming – also blood clots, brain tissue damage, organ failure etc. Most of these deaths will be attributed to covid,and blamed on the uninjected.

“Dr Yvonne Doyle said the upcoming flu season will be highly unpredictable”.

So how many journalists rushed to ask the obvious question: How will you know which flu vaccine to use? Given that in Australia’s winter – which is usually where they get their cue – there have been relatively few flu cases.

This is perhaps the scariest news to date. Millions of people have experimental covID jabs running round their bodies, priming their immune systems to fight the spike and whatever other unknowns were included. Then you add in a little dose of flu a few months later plus whatever unknowns are included. How will their systems react to this new virus? Will they be able to ward it off? Or will it overwhelm their immune systems which may be looking the other way, still watching out for the spike and pals? How will others be affected around them? Will there be vaccine enhanced disease floating around in the air? How will we persuade Grandma to see she should perhaps not have that particular cocktail this year? Dilemmas all round. I cannot see us sending our children into school the day after their friends are jabbed/sprayed with Bill Gate’s 2021 viral offering. How long should we distance? Suddenly hugging Granny does actually seem dangerous. When it never actually was. #ManufacturedDiseases #JustLetThePeopleGo!

Why? Seriously, why? It makes no sense at all. What the hell are they planning? I normally have the flu jab (no way am I ever having the Covid jab) but I most certainly will not this year. I do not trust this Government and the NHS is killing people deliberately by their actions. How can anyone genuinely trust them any more?

I’m sure most people on here will be aware of the Cochrane report on the effectiveness of the flu vaccine. Just in case some aren’t, I suggest that you arm yourself for the months of propaganda and information warfare ahead …

https://www.cochrane.org/CD001269/ARI_vaccines-prevent-influenza-healthy-adults

Conclusion in short – they’re next to useless for the healthy and not needed with an absolute reduction in flu of 1%!

Authors’ conclusions: 



Healthy adults who receive inactivated parenteral influenza vaccine rather than no vaccine probably experience less influenza, from just over 2% to just under 1% (moderate-certainty evidence). They also probably experience less ILI following vaccination, but the degree of benefit when expressed in absolute terms varied across different settings. Variation in protection against ILI may be due in part to inconsistent symptom classification. Certainty of evidence for the small reductions in hospitalisations and time off work is low. Protection against influenza and ILI in mothers and newborns was smaller than the effects seen in other populations considered in this review.



Vaccines increase the risk of a number of adverse events, including a small increase in fever, but rates of nausea and vomiting are uncertain. The protective effect of vaccination in pregnant women and newborns is also very… Read more »
