People are rushing to get the October FLU jab, but what is the point. The Vaccine has not been updated and is the same as last year.

"In the UK, the protection from the flu vaccine decreases over time, and the types of flu viruses it protects against change each year."
BUT THE VACCINE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED.

The B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus, and B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage)-like virus were in the 2022-2023 vaccination.

They say that the antibodies wane and only last one year.
Hmm, but travel vaccines last ten years. Seems suspicious. Big Pharma dreams.

The Autumn 2024 flu campaign began on 1 September 2024 for pregnant women, children aged 2 or 3, school-aged children (from Reception to Year 11) and children in a clinical risk group aged 6 months to 17 years. All other cohorts became eligible on 3 October 2024.

Good air filtration can make a huge difference in preventing and controlling infection in healthcare settings. A recent University of Cambridge study found that an air filtration system in a Covid-19 ward successfully removed almost all traces of the airborne virus.
