The Covid19 Roundabout and Nice Little Earners?

Covid19 may be out of the news but it isn't ever going away. The Eris variant is currently increasing infection rates in the UK and may be causing the country real problems by Autumn (Fall) (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/17/covid-vaccines-should-be-available-privately-uk-scientists-say). The UK government currently seem 'relaxed' about the virus and are saving money by now restricting the Autumn NHS booster vaccine dose, to patients over 65 as well as some vulnerable groups. It's also been suggested that people not in line for a booster (or their concerned employers), could privately buy the vaccine. Moderna and Pfizer both suggest that single shots of the new vaccine could cost around $130. One level of health care for the well-heeled?
