I have just phone the local ccg covid booking line only to be told that because I've had my 3rd primary dose on the 1st of October I have to wait 6 months from then to have my booster because I've had 3 doses. I explained that I read its 3 months now especially for us immunosuppressed people , apparently not. She replied that its still 6 months at the moment and I will be notified when its time.
Oh well they do say patience is a vitue.

Here we go again - the "system" cannot keep up with the JCVI instructions and we are left struggling to get what we need. So frustrating isn't it!! 🙄🤦♀️
It's minimum 3 months after third primary Chrissy. They mustn't have the latest info, crazy being a CCG but there you go. I used to have to deal with outdated info with mine regularly in my last job. Anyway, I had my third in September. I'd be hoping that, like me, you'll be called for your booster ASAP.
I was worried that because it had been recorded as a booster on my Gp recordsI wouldn't be called for a booster but they,did reasure me that on their records it hadmbeen recorded as a 3rd primary dose . Why couldnt it have been caled the immunosuppressed dose then there wouldn't have been this problem.
Similar with me. My GP Practice informed me it was my booster when I chose an appointment time. It was only when it came to being vaccinated I was told it was my third primary yet it's showing it was a booster on my COVID-19 vaccination record, though not my card. It might have been clearer if it had been called something along the lines of immunosuppressed dose like you say.
Yep I've already anticipated that 12 weeks after my 3rd primary will be a hassle to get. Had mine 24th October so mine is due 24th January on my birthday it's a HBB a happy Birthday booster ! N I'll be happy to have it as long as I can get it and the system has caught up.Fingers crossed.
Haha that made me smile I made the mistake of having my 2nd dose on my birthday in April I know birthdays don’t mean much to me these days but it knocked me for six so given the choice of my birthday or a day or so after I definitely wouldn’t pick a birthday mundane or not.
