3rd Aztrazenica vaccine,

Hi everyone hope you’re all well.does anyone had their 3rd dose of Aztrazenica jab? Any issues so far? I’m getting mine but still hesistant because I’m diagnosed with ET and PV .im taking hydroxycarbamide and aspirin. i’ve heard that when you have PV some may be prone to blood clot..and worried about the Aztrazenica vaccine as reported before.just want to know if it should be okay to get the 3rd dose.thanks.

Are you definitely getting the Astra Zeneca because it seems that we are being told we are getting 3rd dose as Pfizer even of we have had AZ as first 2 doses .

Hi jodary.thanks for your reply.I’m not actually sure.still waiting to know what vaccine i will be getting.

[Marimar05 in reply to jodary]

Just had the Pfizer for my 3rd dose.They also asked if i want the flu jab given same time today.and i said might as well have it done.hoping everything turns out well for me.😊

[jodary in reply to Marimar05]

Hope you feel OK and don't have any side effects. Would still like to know why the AZ is being sidelined. X

3rd dose of Pf works better than all 3 being Az in studies. They are suggesting Pf orModerna in US for 2nd dose of JJ vax, but not required to be. JJ and AZ use similar technology.

Yet if you had Pfizer first 2 doses u are getting Pfizer again !

[EPguy in reply to jodary]

You're right about that. The US just recently authorized using a different booster, but the "3rd shot" for us supposed immune comp was still to be the same type last I looked. It's all sort of vague. Anyway if I were to get "another" shot right now I would opt for Moderna as it has more vax in both dosages than Pf. But I was limited to Pf for last month's 3rd shot.

Note if you've had covid (count me in Mar 2020) that was your 1st dose according to most data and you're Hybrid immune. So I'm at 4 doses.

I’m fine now.had a sore arm for almost 3 days and flu like symptoms for a day.took paracetamol and felt better. X

[jodary in reply to Marimar05]

Thats great, have mine today so fingers crossed x

[Marimar05 in reply to jodary]

Hope you feel okay.take care x

I had thec3rd dose Pfizer, had no side effects at all, nothing. The nurse said Pfizer was more effective against the delta variant and that the side effects were a good sign of an immune response. So now I'm wondering why I didn't get any.

Now that makes sense

Hi please check - my understanding is we must not have AZ - it’s Pfizer ( booster and 3rd jab are same strength ) or full strength Maderna ( it’s booster is 1/2 strength so it must be a full jab)

[Marimar05 in reply to Wyebird]

Hi as what i’ve heard we are getting pfizer or moderna for the 3rd dose but i’m not sure if we are still getting a booster after 6months .i hope that the 3rd dose will count as a booster already/same strength as a full jab.

[jodary in reply to Marimar05]

Have been told I get a booster in 6 months after 3rd primary dose x

[Wyebird in reply to Marimar05]

3rd jab and then booster in 6 months. Pfizer jab and booster is the same strength, moderna if a booster, is 1/2 strength hence the need for a moderna full jab
