Over-65s now eligible for ‘Open House’ flu/ Covid vaccinations

With this winter’s flu/ Covid booster jab campaign ongoing, the moment has come for over-65s to be ‘welcomed’ under the SNS health service ‘Open House’ regime – meaning anyone over the age of 65 will be eligible for vaccination (booster or otherwise) if they walk into a health centre off the streets. According to the latest SNS data, more than 2 million citizens have already come forwards for their flu/ Covid boosters – the vast majority (1.5 million) accepting both jabs in the same sitting.
