... Additionally, when I
sliced open my finger 3 days after getting back in March, the A&E
department, as it was being stiched up, asked if I'd had Typhoid jabs,
and when I said the last one I had had was back in 1980 after being
bitten by a rat, they said they didn't think I needed one now. I am
over 50, though.

Perhaps they think we oldies aren't worth bothering to save :-)

Sadly, you are right.

Well, I was joking, that hasn't been our experience. Spouse at 67 has just
been scheduled to have major surgery because he is relatively young and very
healthy, fit and active.
