hello, does anyone know how long between covid booster vaccinations?I had my fourth vaccination on the March 31st

[sweetpea19]

I believe it’s 3 months. I had mine 4 months after

I recently had a postal notification that I was entitled to a third booster vaccination but in the information it said I shouldn’t have it until 6 months after the previous one which was in March, like yours.

Hi, the 5th dose should be done 6 months after the 4th dose. Pls see below (copied from Mpn voice website):

Fifth dose (second booster)

Following advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), the government has announced that people over 75 and people aged 12 or over who are immunosuppressed will be offered a fifth dose of the vaccine. This is to be given six months after the fourth dose.

Thank you. I was sent a message saying I should get a booster, but I imagine wasn't personalized.

[Pinktulips in reply to Dream23]

I also got the letter and booked myself in thinking I should only wait 3 months (I had my 4th in March) and then saw the info that the 5th is actually a 6 month wait 😊

I rang the local pharmacist to fin out and she told me to come for 5th jab so I had it on Tuesday, which was 3 months after my 4th

[Dream23 in reply to April-May]

Thanks. Maybe it's between 3-6 months!? Sounds like lots of different advice going round!

I had my 5th 3 months after the 4th - this info is from Blood Cancer UK:

When should you have the 5th dose?If it’s been at least 3 months since your last dose, you can have your second booster (5th dose). You will be offered either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.

General guidance for people eligible for a second booster is to have it "around 6 months" after their last dose. But some people with blood cancer only had their first booster quite recently. In this case, it’s recommended that you still have your second booster as part of the Spring campaign, as long as it’s been at least 3 months since your last dose.

As long as it's been 3 months since your first booster, it's best to have your second booster as soon as you are able to. This aims to boost your immunity now, while infections are increasing and ahead of a possible summer wave. Waiting longer to have your second booster puts you more at risk of catching covid between now and then.

Hi Dream23, I had my 5th jab 91 days after my 4th jab. I’ve just had Covid (for the first time), one month after my 5th jab.

However, I didn’t need any medical intervention. The worst symptoms were fatigue and headache.

Mine was three mouths appart.

I think it’s officially three months. But I had my 5th jab five month after my 4th (and then received an invitation letter for another dose, which I queried and they cancelled, it would appear that records aren’t being updated as thoroughly as they should be these days)
