Thank you for this information John. It’s been very confusing to say the least. My understanding is the 3 Covid injection is the same for everyone and then a booster is given after 6 months for the immune suppressed. Is this correct ?

My understanding is opposite - article states -

“A Third vaccine will be offered to all those who are immune suppressed.

You should receive a letter inviting you to have the third vaccine. Roll out will be in the same order as the first vaccine 1-9 groups.

The Booster dose is for those who have had both doses of Covid vaccine at least 6 months ago.

It will be offered to all over 50’s - and to 16-49 year olds with underlying health conditions.”

Also believe, having read other information that the booster will be offered to those having 3 vaccines - but again 6 months after latest vaccine.

If I’m wrong, sure someone will advise.

This page was written in good faith after receiving information from an NHS briefing 2 days ago, talking to other charities and doctors.
