If you've had astra zeneca, (or anything else for that matter) and it has gone beyond the 12 weeks between jabs (or the recommended period for your jab) you need to chase the second one, dont rely on anyone else to do the job.

Bojo did announce there was going to be a booster for those in there 50's upwards and with health conditions but as far as I'm aware they havnt started the roll out yet

Go to the grab a jab bus or if you go online you can arrange your 2nd vaccine yourself bud.

My lad didn't hear about his 2nd jab well over 12 weeks went online got him booked in for his 2nd at our local superdrug due 7th October for his now

I've just looked up a BBC news web page(I know, I know, mainstream media, blah, blah, blah) and the UK moved the dose gap from 12 weeks - CK is on 15 - to 8, but it seems that as I said above, it's up to you to get off your rear and do something about it.

Yep it did get shortened to try speed roll out out.
My 12 year old autistic lad has asked if he can have his covid jab as he wants to do his bit to help (lol) last time he had an injection he had to be pinned down.

I only figured due to the demands and pressure on the vaccine system thats the reason for mass delay for the second jab.

Didnt want to be a nuisance chasing them up as silly as that sounds lol.

Got my Pfizer booster today along with the flu jab, - left arm flu, right arm covid.
First time I've had the flu jab.

 

[cactikid]

My flu jab was free this year for once and might need to check about the booster.

You normally pay for flu jabs?

 

[cactikid]

Yes last few years we did or might have been a service charge in the chemist as i remember when they started into the booth stabbed and wait 15 mins for recovery or reaction ? what's that i asked if you keel over we have to treat you and i said ohh good { messing }

If you are registered with NHS and had the 2nd dose, you should receive a text from your GP inviting you for the Booster 6 months afterwards. There are several local Walk In Vaccination Centres with no need to book an appointment, but you may have to queue and must complete a form with your NHS Number and details of previous vaccinations. I went shopping last week and noticed queues outisde a Walk In Vaccination Centre at the local hospital so queued up and got my Pfizer Booster. Next day I received a text from my GP inviting me to book another Vaccinaton Centre the following day that was exactly 6 months after my 2nd dose. Once your vaccinations are recorded on your NHS Record your Smartphone's NHS App will be updated with QR Codes that can be scanned for entry to social venues and for travel etc. Visit NHS website or call NHS 119 for more information about the Covid-19 Vaccinations. Better to be safe than sorry!

Fully Vaxed double jabbed + booster + flu + pneumonia so I should be bomb proof I hope! However still wear a mask in supermarket and sanitise hands on entry and leaving I know everyone have their own views but I would rather play it safe.

The booster shot no doubt would be annual thing going forward simliar to the flu jab to try and surpress covid as much as is feasibly possible.

I'm assuming it will be biannual if it starts losing efficacy after six months

I had my 3rd and the flu jab at same time 2 weeks ago,same effects next very sore arms and feeling a bit crappy,last week though for 3 days i felt like crap.. but ok after.
Ps: strangely the nurse who did them said this is not a booster it is the 3rd injection and would get a booster later... i thought the 3rd jab was the booster ? Now was she talking tosh or is it because i have low immune system.

 

[bazcfc1]

I’m due for my covid booster in morning then my flu jab next week

 

[Joe516]

I had my flu injection about 2 weeks ago had my boost the last week after my boots that I felt ok
