4th vaccination?

[Seashoreshanty]

I have had an appointment sent to me for a 4th vaccination. I have already had the booster in October. I am taking Tacrolimus and steroids for seronegative inflammatory arthritis. Just wondered if anyone else has heard about their 4th injection? I live in North Wales.

I had my 4th vaccination / second booster o n 9th october. The nurse said its given due to immunosuppression from the medication. Its to further boost our immunity and 🤞avoid serious repercussions should we catch the unmentionable.

🤦that should've been ...4th jab on 9th jan. 90 days after the 3rd primary or fourth booster sos x

Thanks…… phoned my surgery and they said it was for immunosupressent, but i just wondered why i was having 4th after having a Booster. Oh well i will ask when i turn up for it. Thankyou

Hi, I've just had a letter from Rheumatology asking me to get the 3rd jab if I haven't already (I have) and saying I should have a 4th when I can and to use that letter as proof of entitlement if I need it. I'm not due the 4th til mid Feb anyway, but am undecided at the mo whether or not for have it 🤔

You need that 4th jab if immune suppressed .

The booster you had should have been recorded as your 3rd primary dose and the 4th one you have been offered is the real booster.

It just takes a while to get these properly recorded on your Heath records! Confused? Yes no surprise as many health professionals seem to be too!! 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

[Seashoreshanty]

Thanks. yes so confusing! I will go for the 4th

Its a drug to lower the immunity. Mit is used for transplant patients too.

Hi I’m in south west wales and have had a fourth vaccine (end of December) the first three were primaries making the ‘full’ coverage for those with suppressed immunity the fourth was the booster the same as the third for the general public
