>Health Secretary Sajid Javid is "confident" that COVID booster jabs will begin to be given to the most vulnerable from next month. The government is still waiting for the final advice from expertsWho the fuck are these magical experts that tell the government what to do exactly? Where are they?
-
@shpuld @augustus terminology differs, yes. here is "shot" and "booster shot"whole world discussing this stuff together for the first time, so getting all mixed up
-
@shpuld i never heard them being called boosters when it was just the second shot bro, it was always "double jabbed"
-
@augustus maybe terminology there is different, but that's still what they are
-
@shpuld i know but its being de-emphasized, all the others just say booster
-
@augustus booster implies it's literally the same, 2nd shot and any after that are called boosters
-
I like how the new ones are a "booster" as opposed to a "jab" to trick people into thinking its different
-
@augustus the quote literally says jab
-
@augustus @shpuld mmm, first two were standard initial regimen; adding another after the fact is a "booster" (like for tetanus
-
@shmibs @shpuld i'm specifically saying that in the UK at least the public facing marketing campaign for this push was using the word jab up until the new 3rd shot which is now being referred to as a booster.
