Booster Vac done yesterday.

I made sure it was Pfizer as Blood Cancer UK ‘s advice is that Pfizer is the full dose anyway whereas Moderna is only a booster with a half dose. I also asked the nurse injecting if it was the full dose and she said it was.

Could I ask those of you who have had their 3rd dose, did you receive a card with the vaccine name and Batch No. as we did with the first two Vacs? My husband and I didn’t receive any proof that we’ve had it but my brother-in-law who lives in Kent did receive such a card.

I booked us through the NHS by the way, as our GP ‘s are not doing anything about boosters at the moment anyway, they say. We had them at a Pharmacy which was not nearly so well organised as when the GPS arranged first and second at the local hospital. We had an appointment time but had to wait in a queue outside with about 6 in front and then one by one go inside where there were six occupied chairs and when one became vacant , all move round each time. Bizarre!! Nurse was in very small room too. I shouldn’t complain…. at least I managed to get it!

I would like to know if we should have card with details though. Regards to all, and good luck. Fran

Yes I got given a card with pfizer booster info written. Also got flu card with flu jab info. I keep them all safe as you never know... No side effects thankfully. I live in Hertfordshire.

They put another sticker on my original card stating booster name and batch number. I had the pfizer as well, did feel sick, headache and aches later that day and the next day but fine after that (same as the second dose). Take care x

I had a sticker put on the back of my vaccine card too. Luckily I felt ok after my third dose.

Hope everyone else is feeling better after theirs. Xxxx

It should be documented on your health records.Cards are just cards..

Still waiting for flu and boosters here in Scotland. Heard we will get both together on a vaccine bus due 18th October! We never had any vaccine cards here to begin with . Apparently on our nhs records and would have to go online to get. Had AZ jab originally, reaction on 1st one , but as it seems only Pfizer or moderna being given as booster hoping don’t get a reaction. Not sure what one will be given on this vaccine bus ! NHS Grampian have taken it out of local GP’s hands and surgery not sure what is happening themselves. Anyone know anything about these vaccine buses?

Hi, I had my third dose (Pfizer) two days ago and received a new card with the details, just like the one for the first two doses. Interesting how variable the booster/third dose issue seems to be: where I went (Guy's Hosp in London) they were dispensing the same vaccine and dose for both. All good for side effects, just a sore arm for one day. Had a venesection just before, what a pin-cushion day!
