Has anyone heard or know how long we should leave between spring/autumn vaccines? I can’t find anything on the nhs/gov websites.I’m starting to hear quite a few cases a bit too close to home for comfort and quite a lot of walks ins are beginning. I want to have mine as soon as but don’t know how long the gap is? Anyone know please?

Hence the importance of strick shielding, fresh air, avoidance of stuffy confined spaces and infected people for us, the immunosuppressed and compromised since this government has cast aside ALL covid restrictions!

3 months is the best time period.

Hi. On the vaccination subject I tried to book yesterday and after alot of research with ringing GP and internet gov website it appears England cannot book until 18th September through 119 or internet. My GP said they are not doing it at the surgery this time. Just thought this might be helpful. Take care fellow warrior.🌻

Thank you, I’m looking at walk ins, I find they are easier than waiting for booked appt. These are being done now in my area. I’m planning to find one on Friday. You too take care x

That's good. I have been told I have to wait 28 days after covid so I'm hoping to book in once I'm negative. Good luck.

I have Covid at this very moment (decided to go on holiday last week to Scotland) and had my spring booster as directed for the autoimmune. So I would say asap, but not sure when I can have my next one now which I've booked for October. I hate how Covid makes me feel - it's the second time I've had it - last time was January 2023 and have had every single vaccination without fail. I am very grumpy today 😒 xx

I too have covid. It's my first time and I've had all vaccinations. I had antiviral infusion at home two days ago and am starting to feel a bit brighter. It's such an awful virus. Keep going you will feel better soon.🌻🤞

I have had my covid jab today. After finding I couldn't book online and not wanting to wait until my GP surgery's date of mid October I just rang a pharmacy direct and asked if they would give me an appointment and they did.

That’s good, I’m going on Friday, although the gp surgery have messaged today to book for flu jab! I don’t fancy having both at the same time so will delay the flu one for a week or so 😊
