Which vaccines are they using for the 4th booster ones, my first 2 was oxford, 3rd Pfizer, so wondered if 4th can be different again?

Generally Pfizer. All 4 of mine were Pfizer, that's just the way it fell.

I had AZ for my first two, Pfizer for the 3rd primary and a half dose moderna for my booster (4th vaccination).

I got two AZs, then a Pfizer for my third and another Pfizer today. I think it may just be pot luck as to what they have where you get booked in.

I’m Scotland, when I received mine, they told me Moderna would be used for all boosters. My first three vaccines were Pfizer

Sylvi so sorry that’s happened to you too. I read out the bit of the gov.uk that applies to immune suppressed (see moomin8’s post). I was going to drop a copy in to GP, had to ring 3 times, rang rheumatology too, they were lovely , said I didn’t need letter & shld all be sorted in couple of weeks but then got text this morning. 🤷‍♀️Everyone seems different on here, hope it gets sorted for you xxx

Oh yes…Third Primary for those who need it, then a booster…in Surrey as in most English counties.Check your clinical position on 119.

Thank you. I've had 3, last one in November, I am on CEV list and have received emails, letters and texts for previous jabs but nothing lately. I did enquire on 119 and was told no more vaccinations will be necessary for anyone now! So who knows! Not sure anyone does! Thank you for your reply .

I.m as confused as the next person, but I’m having a Rituximab infusion next week - having had three Primary vaccinations…but rheumy has said I will still need the booster jab…but in 3/4 months.Just wait & see I guess?

It's all gone bonkers I think! All we can do is await destructions!! Good luck with your infusion. Stay well.

I think it's usually Pfizer again, or it was when I had mine, at a different location to first three if that makes any difference. My first two were AstraZeneca (or Oxford as you've said), my third was Pfizer, as was my booster.
