Covid boosters

[Rosebine2]

Ive had an email from the Govt re Spring booster for clinically vulnerable. I had No.4 in in February, so is this no.5 or are they just behind with their emails !

[Rosebine2]

OK, post come up on the Related posts bit which has answered my question!

Had 5th,was Moderna. On Olaparib. Very mildest reaction for 24 hours.

I had my 5th last month. Had a letter and a text with appointment. I rang the number to check that it was correct. No side effects. Jan x

So pleased to see that you are still with us as you have made such useful contributions and so many wrote asking you to stay after the recent debacle. I hope Ovacome seriously re-considers its policy and the sensitivity of its wording re-censorship.

I showed up for my 5th but they refused to do it because I didn’t have a letter from my oncologist to say it was necessary x

[Tillymint61]

I was advised to take either letter showing treatment Iam on or medication. As I am on tablets it was easy to take tub of them! 4th was in January 5th last month. It does depend what treatment you are on apparently. Was quite poorly for 48 hours with 5th one.

I cant understand how they decide who should or shouldn't have a 4th or 5th vaccine lve heard nothing and had my 3rd before Christmas. My husband got a text a couple of weeks ago he's got not spleen and had pancreatic cancer.

For his 4th injection, lm not sure if l should ring

or not. Glad you've had your 4th injection Rosebine 2 ,but lm not really sure about a 5th so soon. Keep well sending love & hugs SheilaFxxx

I’m in same boat, had 3rd before Christmas and even then I’ve had to fight all the way for mine. I’ve given up.

[Realistic in reply to Katmal-UK]

I know, its not fair is it constantly having to ring up about everything. Trying to get through to our Doctors 27 times then when you get through no appointments left lm afraid. Sometimes l have to take a deep breath with everything, it would be really nice if someone answered the phone and actually said yes l can help you. Is it too much too ask.Love & hugs Sheila xxx

[Katmal-UK in reply to Realistic]

Exactly how I feel Sheila, my GP doesn’t recognise I am a cancer patient to the point I have to tell them every time! My oncologist can’t understand it as he writes to them every time with an update. Xx Kathy xx

[Realistic in reply to Katmal-UK]

I totally feel your frustration, and lm sure there are a lot of others feel it also. Xx

I've had 5 jabs,last one was moderna,very little side effects,arm was sore for few days

[win_56 in reply to patricia54053]

Yes me too Pat.

[Chocky16]

Had my 5th last week did check when I went that I should have this and said yes was entitled after I explained why NHS contacted me. Had sore arm and felt tired next day but OK now

[Guilane]

Hi, I’ve just booked my 5th covid jab on the NHS website because I had no invitation from Dr or NHS. It was all very easy. For the first time, this time, my CNS said to book the appointment just after I have had my bloods done as the blood count needs to be within normal limits. Who knew? Never been mentioned before.

Never give up trying. Gill X

[Smileeveryday2021]

I have had number 5 too…

[Lockygill]

I had mine last week. I was sent a text and an email inviting me to go and get it….

[Bobbyo1]

No they are pushing out the 5 th booster I had mine the other week I had a phone call and I think they are every few months for the vulnerable x
