Spring booster

Hi all. So I have had a text to say that I can have the spring booster. I've had 4 boosters due to my immune. So is the spring classed as the 4th or is the spring one the 5th. Just a bit confused. TIA

If you're immunosuppressed it's a 5th.

Same for me but I’m now booked in to have my 5th jab on Thursday as an immuno deficient person. Requirements slightly different for different categories.

Hi I’m the same I had a email and now a letter. I had my 4th vaccine in March so was confused with ‘spring’ booster. Haven’t booked yet as wasn’t sure and had no one to ask. I’m on azathioprine and hydrochoroquine

Hi, I received a letter too and like you had had my 4th. Went along yesterday (apprehensive as up to now been a bit of a fight as GP and specialist would never issue me a letter despite I’m classed as ECV). Anyway, went along to a walk in centre and only had to say I had lupus and they said “oh yes that’s on the list” and they didn’t want any further info of drugs etc. So all very easy and stress-less. And yes in answer to your question they classed it as my 5th. Hope you get yours sorted just as easy 🙏😌

Hi yes it’s the 5th . I had mine a couple of months ago . I received a text then a letter. I didn’t bother with the GP I went to our Covid walk in centre. No hassle whatsoever all done & dusted within 10 mins as previously stated I didn’t need to mention medication. She had all previous jab information when she looked up my details.

It’s classed as your 5th jab. My text said that I needed to show my medication box but when I got there I didn’t need to. I had a different vaccine this time but didn’t need to wait for 10 mins so was in and out very quickly. Even though I was poorly for the next two days. Surely we can’t keep being jabbed every three months?
