Why am now being asked to have another vaccine so soon after the third?

[Manouche]

« On the 29th November 2021, the JCVI announced that all people who are immunocompromised, which includes those with blood cancer, are now eligible for a booster (fourth dose) of the Covid vaccine, to be given three months after their third primary dose. In this blog, we explain more »

well this has surprised me

[Swede]

I have not been offered any jab yet,never mind a third.I will for sure not be offered a booster in three months.

[Dazakella2010 in reply to Swede]

Why have you not been offered any? Every person has been?

[Rockstone in reply to Dazakella2010]

Thank you

Manouche , , many Thanks for posting this valuable link. The article is for once very clear and unambiguous in my opinion. My only reservation is the system itself working as it ought as there are still gaps in the process. Also the 'required letter from GP to take with you' is an alarm bell which will ring for many of us. But encouraging that it's being flagged up for us all.

Cheers - Chris

Thank you for posting. Had my 3rd primary jan last week, after about a month waiting for confirmation. They said I need a booster in 6 months seems it's now 3. Good luck all. X

And so the fight for our 4th vaccine commences ........

We haven't even had mention of boosters in nz yet. Most have 2 and a vaccine pass? Is it needed to have several more booster shots? Has anyone reacted with clots or noted low wbc or elevated platelets with any shots. Pfizer is used here commonly. Thanks

[Web2021 in reply to Thenemesis-ET_CALR]

I ET Jak2 I had decreased platelets post first vaccination then by 4 wk later rebounded back had bad chest pain and hurt when breathing 48 hr post this jab as my body is inflammatory at moment too scared to risk 2 nd jab I NZ too

[Thenemesis-ET_CALR in reply to Web2021]

Yea that's what I don't want or need. Hope your feeling better now. Mixed outcomes of different vaccines an circumstances. Very unsure

[Thenemesis-ET_CALR in reply to Web2021]

An then the point. No double jab no vaccine pass so can't really go anywhere or do anything except doctors an supermarket an for who knows how long. I have a certifying exam booked that's been booked for months that I can't even sit now because of recent vax pass

[Kraftcheese in reply to Thenemesis-ET_CALR]

Hi. I'm in Australia. My haemo told me to have a third/booster vax 2-6 months after my second one. She said it's because we're immunocompromised. I had Astra Zenica for the first two, with no side effects at all. She told me to have Pfizer for the third one. Good luck.

[Thenemesis-ET_CALR in reply to Kraftcheese]

Hey let us know how ya go with pfizer. Still waiting to get mine.

I am still a bit worried hearing of lots of side effects in people with heart or blood conditions. Don't want covid either. Heard some pretty horrifying percentages of survival in people with blood cancer who catch covid.

Has anyone seen any studies in survival rates etc or have any info.

Cheers

All the best

[Eadaoin in reply to Thenemesis-ET_CALR]

Where did you find these “horrifying percentages” of survival recorded?

[Thenemesis-ET_CALR in reply to Eadaoin]

Hey I usually get info from leukemia foundation website mayoclinic the like an a few .gov links. Have been trying to source more reliable info/sites and forums like those an more studies so if you have any good links or advice I would appreciate.

[Thenemesis-ET_CALR]

Bloodcancer.org.uk was the website. I read it a while back now. Mentions over 3000 studied an ppl with covid an blood cancer were highest effected. But that's not everyone an every situation so no doubt a lot of finer details left out or may not cover all aspects.

This is all too crazy for me. I’m in Austria and the laws are changing every day. I believe it’s a sign of something. Basically, no one knows how effective the vaccines are! I know that 50% of the ICU in a hospital in Vienna have been vaccinated twice, but they are diabetics and mostly very obese or they have several other major health problems. Common denominator, ALL. Have a Vit D deficiency. I was injured by the Pfizer, therefore I’m not getting any vaccine for a while. I’m waiting for the novavax and then I’ll see how the response is.

I had my second Pfizer in July. The third vaccine is to be in 9 months according to the med association in Austria. Let’s see.

Also, I know many double vaccinated with Covid, also with heart conditions, asthma, breast cancer, morbid crone,… who have had or have Covid in the past 2 months. Every single one of them had light symptoms. 😁

[Thenemesis-ET_CALR in reply to Anag]

Thanks for your reply. More to think about. If anyone else has any similar information or personal experience relating to this will be much appreciated.

Take care

Thanks for sharing this. I had my third Pfizer and had no issues with any of the jabs apart from a slightly sore arm. Here in Berlin we have been told a fourth shot / booster would be five months after the third. But l read today that Pfizer or Moderna vaccines only provide some 25% protection against Omicron as opposed to over 90% for delta. These are early studies hopefully more info will follow. I personally think it makes sense to wait for the new adjusted vaccines.

Biontech who invented the Pfizer vaccine has said it expects to have the new version vaccine ready by March

[Anag in reply to Dovme]

That’s the exact info that we, in Austria have. I tried to read into the vaccination statistics in South Africa. If I’m correct, terribly spreadable, but the hospitalization have remained stable. So it’s not worse than Delta.
