« On the 29th November 2021, the JCVI announced that all people who are immunocompromised, which includes those with blood cancer, are now eligible for a booster (fourth dose) of the Covid vaccine, to be given three months after their third primary dose. In this blog, we explain more »

Why am now being asked to have another vaccine so soon after the third?
well this has surprised me
I have not been offered any jab yet,never mind a third.I will for sure not be offered a booster in three months.
Thank you
Manouche , , many Thanks for posting this valuable link. The article is for once very clear and unambiguous in my opinion. My only reservation is the system itself working as it ought as there are still gaps in the process. Also the 'required letter from GP to take with you' is an alarm bell which will ring for many of us. But encouraging that it's being flagged up for us all.
Cheers - Chris
Thank you for posting. Had my 3rd primary jan last week, after about a month waiting for confirmation. They said I need a booster in 6 months seems it's now 3. Good luck all. X
And so the fight for our 4th vaccine commences ........
We haven't even had mention of boosters in nz yet. Most have 2 and a vaccine pass? Is it needed to have several more booster shots? Has anyone reacted with clots or noted low wbc or elevated platelets with any shots. Pfizer is used here commonly. Thanks
I ET Jak2 I had decreased platelets post first vaccination then by 4 wk later rebounded back had bad chest pain and hurt when breathing 48 hr post this jab as my body is inflammatory at moment too scared to risk 2 nd jab I NZ too
Yea that's what I don't want or need. Hope your feeling better now. Mixed outcomes of different vaccines an circumstances. Very unsure
Hi. I'm in Australia. My haemo told me to have a third/booster vax 2-6 months after my second one. She said it's because we're immunocompromised. I had Astra Zenica for the first two, with no side effects at all. She told me to have Pfizer for the third one. Good luck.
Hey let us know how ya go with pfizer. Still waiting to get mine.
I am still a bit worried hearing of lots of side effects in people with heart or blood conditions. Don't want covid either. Heard some pretty horrifying percentages of survival in people with blood cancer who catch covid.
Has anyone seen any studies in survival rates etc or have any info.
Cheers
All the best
Where did you find these “horrifying percentages” of survival recorded?
Bloodcancer.org.uk was the website. I read it a while back now. Mentions over 3000 studied an ppl with covid an blood cancer were highest effected. But that's not everyone an every situation so no doubt a lot of finer details left out or may not cover all aspects.

This is all too crazy for me. I’m in Austria and the laws are changing every day. I believe it’s a sign of something. Basically, no one knows how effective the vaccines are! I know that 50% of the ICU in a hospital in Vienna have been vaccinated twice, but they are diabetics and mostly very obese or they have several other major health problems. Common denominator, ALL. Have a Vit D deficiency. I was injured by the Pfizer, therefore I’m not getting any vaccine for a while. I’m waiting for the novavax and then I’ll see how the response is.
I had my second Pfizer in July. The third vaccine is to be in 9 months according to the med association in Austria. Let’s see.
Also, I know many double vaccinated with Covid, also with heart conditions, asthma, breast cancer, morbid crone,… who have had or have Covid in the past 2 months. Every single one of them had light symptoms. 😁
Thanks for sharing this. I had my third Pfizer and had no issues with any of the jabs apart from a slightly sore arm. Here in Berlin we have been told a fourth shot / booster would be five months after the third. But l read today that Pfizer or Moderna vaccines only provide some 25% protection against Omicron as opposed to over 90% for delta. These are early studies hopefully more info will follow. I personally think it makes sense to wait for the new adjusted vaccines.
Biontech who invented the Pfizer vaccine has said it expects to have the new version vaccine ready by March
