Many thanks for posting this.Ive found it the best way of keeping up to date with the latest advice.Sadly not all the professionals who should know what the latest is do.Also Im still struggling to get my 3rd primary recorded as that and not as a ‘booster’.Because of that I can’t get the booster that I need.Im having a day off from from it all and starting again next week!Thanks again and hope you have a good weekend.💐
They are very clued up in all aspects of 3rd jab being marked as "booster" etc . They will listen to you and discuss your situation.
In my case I'd had my "booster" then told I could have a 3rd primary . I took all my recorded jabs along with me and discussed my case .
The army had taken over the walk-in when I attended and were happy to discuss my case while looking at my medical record online . They then gave me another "booster" recorded as such on my records - so I have 2 primaries and 2 "boosters" .
I am not bothered by what they're called on my records . That may or may not be changed in the months to come . Just grateful that I've had my 4 jabs .
Hi and thankyou very much.So pleased you managed to sort out your vaccines.That sounds like a good experience.What a difference it makes when people not only know whats what but listen to us as well.The local walk-in is my next port of call next week...if the flare up that arrived this morning has subsided😏 Thanks again and have a good weekend.
