I think we will be having jabs every 6 months for a long time. It's not over, so we will need to continue with vaccination.
I think we will be having jabs every 6 months for a long time. It's not over, so we will need to continue with vaccination.I'm afraid I have to amend my last post reviewing the NHS update it says for those who are immuno suppressed the third dose is part of their primary vaccination with a booster after six months but for all others this will be termed as a booster shot, On the letter I recieved it talked about the clinicaly vunerable and those that are immuno supressed. It is all a bit confusing.
It makes me wonder if we may all be looking at a fourth jab but for some it will be their first booster and others it will be a second booster this howerver is just speculation on my part.

I am not interested in credentials. I am interested in staying well, for my benefit and so I don't tie up needed medical services by preventable illness.Yeah I reckon minimum biannual going forward. Certainly for anyone who wants to maintain their ‘fully vaccinated’ credentials.
They have only recently been able to determine how much the immunity wanes after the second jab. No doubt they will wait to see if a booster will be longer lasting. Maybe scheduling the clinically vulnerable and immuno-supressed is due to "an abundance of caution" as the popular phrase would have it.I'm afraid I have to amend my last post reviewing the NHS update it says for those who are immuno suppressed the third dose is part of their primary vaccination with a booster after six months but for all others this will be termed as a booster shot, On the letter I recieved it talked about the clinicaly vunerable and those that are immuno supressed.

Oki Dokey AntjeAnd back on topic please.
It will also have been your last shingles jab as you only need one. If you have also had the one-off pneumonia jab you are bulletproof.I had a very bad case of flu as a teenager in the 1950s, and lost a huge amount of weight in the process. As an ancient and increasingly decrepit old woman with T2 I don't believe I'd cope with something like that again now, so I'll take all the help I'm offered vaccination wise...
So far this month I've had my usual annual flu jab, a first ever shingles jab, and this lunch time, my third COVID Pfizer jab (which I think may have raised my glucose level a bit this evening...)
Yes I forgot my pneumonia jab as I had that years ago when I became "age eligible". but I think I may still need a bulletproof vest if there's someone around who wants to shoot at me??It will also have been your last shingles jab as you only need one. If you have also had the one-off pneumonia jab you are bulletproof.
I happened to notice that you can get a private Shingrix vaccination for the bargain price of £618 !!If I have the shingles vaccine it looks like I would have to have the Shingrix vaccineas Zostavax is unsuitable for those with a weakened immune system.
Don't think my GP will be offering me thst then..I happened to notice that you can get a private Shingrix vaccination for the bargain price of £618 !!
I had my Pfizer booster mid October and was very ill afterwards, couldn't even get out of bed for two days. Still, i'm ever so glad i had it done.I had my booster vaccine today Pfizer.
I wonder what the difference is between people that means they have such varied reactions to the same vaccine. I thought when I didn't even get a sore arm from the first jab it was because I had no immunity but the second and booster jabs were just the same.I had my Pfizer booster mid October and was very ill afterwards, couldn't even get out of bed for two days. Still, i'm ever so glad i had it done.
