If you’re in the UK and were born between 1970-1990 you can just go to your GP and get revaccinated for MMR because you may have had single vaccines, which are no longer considered valid. I went & did it this summer. Easy way to help protect yourself & your community.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true. It’s been a bit quiet in my shop lately. If you’re looking for #Christmas cards and gifts please have a look at my website. gailmyerscough.co.uk A repost would be lovely too.

This is a terrifying time for CV/CEV people. We need the covid vaccine!

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis. Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.

My fourth book is out tomorrow. I’m not famous and I don’t have a massive following. And I know this is never going to pay the bills. But if you like the Scots language and poignant stories about life, please do consider checking it out and sharing: amzn.eu/d/6dK61cK

This, this and double this! I was also turned down for the Covid jab despite being CEV, having multiple chronic illnesses and being a carer. Like Polly, I feel for my healthcare team having to explain to everyone that they're not eligible any more. They should not be put in that position!

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season. TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible. christinapagel.substack.com/p/england-is...

🚨 BREAKING: Labour MPs back calls to restore NHS Covid vaccines for all Clinically Vulnerable people! After pressure from CVF members and supporters - a rapid U-turn appears to be underway. WELL DONE! #KeepCovidBoosters campaign a HUGE success!

Learning to pace with #chronicillness isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing differently. In this post, I’m sharing the simple weekly check-in that helps me prevent burnout, plan around unpredictable energy, and stay grounded in what my body actually needs. #lifewithchronicillness bit.ly/46Gbm4R

⚠️The NHS once protected us. Now, millions of Clinically Vulnerable people are being told we don’t qualify for a Covid vaccine - even as new variants spread. This is a dangerous, preventable mistake. #KeepCovidBoosters

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Oh, great - went to my GP to get my flu and Covid jabs, only to be told I'm not eligible for the Covid jab because I'm not over 75! I'm CEV and a carer, it makes no sense 🤬
