[Exeter21]

Only 3 not sure I want to rush into any others just yet . Had arm problems after last one so leaving it until repaired. 👍

[Ozziepig]

Had my fourth Feb 28th and my fifth yesterday after having information from Blood Cancer UK and booking through the NHS website. Very efficient!

[cs1941]

I’ve just had my second booster (5th Vaccine) after a six month interval between last shot. I didn’t feel happy to consider the second booster at a three month interval, it just felt too much.

I was actually called by my GP for it, so after what has been a negative experience, it seems they’re finally getting their act together.

[Gaithersburg]

4 so far. - have scheduled my 5th for July

[Wyebird]

Hi I had my 5th yesterday. I just walked into walk in centre showed them the text I had from the hospital and hey presto one sore arm later🤣

[Red64]

I had my 5th yesterday. All done at my gp surgery x

[SarahPV]

Two and then covid. No more for me. X

[JackandRose]

I had my 5th on the 13th April. No problems with any of my jabs. In May I got Covid -reported it to my specialist nurse on the Wednesday and after a few phone calls I was given the anti virals on the Thursday at 8.30. Very efficient Newcastle hospitals. Rose

[Rem31]

5th one this week.... no problem with getting it or effects afterwards.

[Mica11]

Just had my 4th.

[Amethist]

None 😁

[SRH55]

I’ve had 3, had to queue for 1.5 hours each time in a hospital, not so sure how social distancing works now.

[DottyDaisy]

None. I get regular offers of boosters both from Guy's and from my GP. Finally gave up repeatedly telling them no thank you.I had covid April/May 2020 and was still antibody positive nearly 2 years later when I did a PCR test through the Covidence study. Result came back "If you haven't had the vaccine, then you have had covid".

This recent wave of variant has caught up with most of my fully vaccinated family and friends who hadn't had it already. All now fine.

Come to think of it, that doesn't include anybody of my generation. (Old)

[lynda1ann in reply to DottyDaisy]

Hello, I’ve only had one, then two months later I had a very bad chest which is still not good

[DottyDaisy in reply to lynda1ann]

Sorry to hear that Lynda. I do hope your chest does eventually improve.Had I been undecided, it would have been hard to know which way to turn.

As it is, it must be 30 years since I stopped accepting vaccinations.

[mochapie in reply to lynda1ann]

I only had one, lots of negative side effects after:Headaches for over a month

Exhausted extremely

Spike in blood pressure

Heart palpitating

Chest hurts like I am winded trying to catch my breath even more than a year later now

Irregular periods every 2 weeks for a few months afterwards

Knee and leg pain and pain with veins- never before had

Does reporting it honestly do anything- doubtful because within a year and a half most people are getting 5. Even flu shots are 1x per year so this constant shot thing is strange but I do believe they work and help. They don't tell you it comes with a lot of side effects though- I've been told ignore the side effects- get another. Thank goodness for the shots but should not be mandated - end of story

[mochapie in reply to lynda1ann]

What do you mean by A bad chest? Just curious

[lynda1ann in reply to mochapie]

Hello, I’m very short of breath when walking, wheezing and tight chested it is a awful feeling. Xx

[mochapie in reply to lynda1ann]

Ditto hereNever happened before the shot though and since then I get short of breath I am now afraid to exercise and now have gained weight as a result. I basically feel weak, almost like asthma occurred after the 1 shot. I'd be in big trouble had I taken 5 like everyone else seems to. It's not a one size fits all shot is it? My echo says normal but honestly it feels like a virus was injected into me last year, I had so many issues afterwards, worse was brain fog, couldn't remember cousins name I talk to regularly. Very Very scary........

[lynda1ann in reply to mochapie]

That’s exactly how I’ve been, I’m having to see respiratory specialist at the minute. It is very scary don’t know which way to turn sometimes and I get very upset about it. I do have MF and taking Rux, been advised to have more covid jabs though

[mochapie in reply to lynda1ann]

Yes more more more I know. Check if you need a cpap machine maybe. I never did before my shot, now I do. Yikes

[lynda1ann in reply to mochapie]

Sorry but what is a cpap machine, I have a nebuliser

[mochapie in reply to lynda1ann]

It's a breathing device with tubing for snoring or apnea, etc

[harleydavidson in reply to mochapie]

That’s awful, hope it passes soon x

[Maisie10]

I have had 5

[Bridie123]

Three

[MCW22]

I've got my 5th booked for next month. I wasn't invited for any of mine, I had to organise them all myself with a particularly bad fight to get the 3rd

[azaelea]

Had my 5th a week last Wednesday. 4th was 14th Feb. Had NHS letter but it just mentioned Spring booster which I thought our 4th was. Anyway, I made sure I got Pfizer, same as all have been , after reading on here that some of us had had bad reactions to Moderna. Went to walk- in in the end as my appointment arranged only had Moderna!😂😂 Fran

[Meatloaf9]

4 so far, no problems with any of them.

[Jenny_F]

I have had 5 so far

[Nmom]

My 20 yr old son has ET and he hasn’t gotten any shots. He had Covid in Jan 2022 and was fine. Felt under the weather for about a week.

[Cb1001]

None ....

[bjay22]

3 & then I got covid. Not getting any more shots.

[harleydavidson in reply to bjay22]

Poor you x

[Janis12]

I have had my 5th now, I just rang up and booked it with no problems at all.

[Paul_1971]

4, did look and can book a 5th but think going to wait until the autumn and hopefully get a booster then with the flu jab.

[gilded]

About to have the 5th at local chemist

[Wyebird]

I had my 5th Thursday

[Rastavapa]

Zero 👍🏽🙏

[KentBee]

I have had 5, 5th one 12 weeks after 4th.

[NewBloom]

5th this week. Had to chase for 3rd primary and 4th & 5th.

[EPguy]

Infection + 3 so far for equiv of 4. I'm waiting for the bivalent vax approval (Wuhan+ Omicron) for my 4th. US gov't is deciding on it this week. In US the 5th is not as common as in UK.

[Devilgirl]

I had my 5th in early May & now just got a letter from my gp this weekend to say I'm eligible for a spring booster - a little late but at least it shows they have me in the system.

[GK40]

4.....the 4th made me feel awful for days........i have just declined the 5th as I think it will just go on and on and on and soon we will be on jab 26 with no end in sight

[Patsr]

zero

[HazeBlue]

5 and due the 6th . Hesitant as only want Pfizer like the others were.
