If you give a vacine to a 90 year old you might give them 4 more years to an 80 year old 14 more years so morally it makes more sense to give it to 40 year olds they will get more miles out of it ?You are wasting good vaccines on old people .

Is an over weight unfit taxi driver in his(very) late 50's with possible underlying health problems worth the jab? lol

I'm 56....and hold an SPSV driving licence(classed as an essential service)..i read somewhere that the essential service bit will get me the jab before the 56y/o bit will!!
