Re: Corona / Vax UK
Vaccine's wouldn't normally come under emergency care though. Just had a Google and seems the Department of Health have already clarified it -
“Britons living overseas should obtain the vaccine in their country of residence.They cannot arrange a vaccine in the UK from overseas.”

Complete the discussion. if you are not registered how you register.
I seem to remember that if you have not been to your GP for some time you could be purged after a certain period, 5 years?

We were discussing the fact that one cannot travel to the UK in order to get the vaccine.

Re: Corona / Vax UK
While the UK death figures remain depressingly high (a reflection of the very high case rates 2 weeks ago) the case rate has been falling over the last week. This will have been influenced by the additional restrictions imposed but, I hope, also by the vaccination programme which has been running for over a month.

Re: Corona / Vax UK
No. As above, British expats aren’t eligible. Only those residing in the UK are.
Seems fair enough to me, imagine the outcry if it was discovered people who’d chosen to move abroad had decided to return just to use the NHS and queue jump!
If we haven’t had ours by the time we leave in July then we’ll just wait our turn in the US.

COVID-19 testing and treatment
No charges for coronavirus (COVID-19) testing and treatment
Overseas visitors to England, including anyone living in the UK without permission, will not be charged for:- testing for COVID-19 (even if the test shows they do not have COVID-19)
- treatment for COVID-19
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-enti...t-health-guide
OK I suppose technically it says they will not be charged not that they will get it. Nothing I have come across suggests this is an issue.
We know Canadians on Holiday in Florida are getting it, what's the difference?

The Vaccine sounds like neither and is presumably subject to payment.

I know the vaccine in the US is free to the patient, I can not imagine UK charges for it. Vaccine is a treatment.
