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
