Hello Foxy, good to hear from you. If it’s bern six months since your second jab then yes it’s fine to have it. Pete and I had ours with no ill effects but everyone is different of course. Discuss it with your doctor if you want to. Wishing you well. Xxx😘

I had my booster on Tuesday, a bit shivery that evening, but no real problems, though I have been oversleeping a bit….a welcome catch up but not sure due to the booster vax 🤔

If you have been messaged foxy then it'd ok to go ahead. I had the booster two weeks ago with no problem. Best wishes.

I have had my booster and wouldn’t hesitate if I was you. Achy arm that day / night but otherwise fine.

I’m getting mine on the 11th at the same time as my husband. I haven’t had my letter from the government yet, but as it is 6 months since my second jab, they were able to book me in as well.

Hi Foxy79.

I've had a full vaccine again last week... not a booster and was fine. I'm sure you will be too.

Hello

I was given a third before 6months was up since the last one.I felt a bit fluey about 12 hrs later but that was it. I then felt invincible against Covid for a bit 🤣🤣

Good luck 🙂🙂

My mother 94 had hers two weeks ago with no problems. My wife and I have ours next week.

Please have it. There's no problem, just a sore arm.

Are you sure it's the booster you're having? There are two being given at the moment. There's the booster given 6 months after the 2nd covid vaccination and then there's the 3rd vaccination for the immunosupressed and CEV.....I believe one has to wait two months after the 3rd vaccination before you can have booster - anyone can correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Hello peege thank you for your reply and advice firstly I had both of my vaccine it was nearly 6 month's yet and I had 2 astrazenic that's it know they said to book a booster which I mean it's another same astrazenic again and 2 weeks ago I had my flu vaccine as well that's it what is immunapress injection can you tell me please what's that for

The 3rd vaccination is just that. We had one, then second 12 weeks later and the people who have extremely low immune systems (therefore very vulnerable to catch covid or anything else for that matter), those with suppressed immune systems are to have a third vaccination (the same again). Everyone else is having the covid booster .

If you have a letter stating 'booster' then that's what you'll have. It's fine, nothing to worry about, you'll just be even better protected against covid Foxy.

Husband and I have both had boosters. Felt ok afterwards. Just slight tenderness on site of jab. All our 3 vaccines have been pfizer x

I had my third vaccine, not the booster, because I’m immunosuppressed, about 3 weeks ago. My first 2 were AZ and the 3rd Pfizer. I didn’t have any side effects.

Hi, Are you talking about the booster or the 3rd primary jab. Two completely different things.
