Third covid jab?

[Prettystuffed]

Hi Everyone, Just a quick question as I'm on Infliximab do I need a third dose or just a booster? Thanks in advance xxx

There are numerous posts about the 3rd jab, if you scroll you will find them. Your doctors will contact you if they think you need the 3rd jab 😊

Your doctor will inform you whether you need a 3rd jab or not. I am in remission and on 10mg MTX weekly and I was told by my Rheumy I only need a booster jab.

If you were on infliximab at the time of your first 2 vaccines, then yes you meet the criteria. NHSE have given Drs a deadline of today for informing patients. In truth most patients have had to contact their specialist to get the letter, and NHSE have sent a reminder out on 30/9 of their responsibilities that so many are failing to follow. Here’s the JCVI info on who’s eligible

And here’s the latest memo sent by NHSE
