Re: Cable Forum Vaccinations
Anyone else had their booster jab yet? Had mine (Pfizer) on Tuesday and as previously no side effects.
Could have booked for Thursday/Friday last week but avoided due to terrible weather forecast and as so often forecast wrong and we had two dry days.

Re: Cable Forum Vaccinations
I went for what I thought was a booster last Monday, but when I was there I was told it was actually a 3rd dose of AZ and I'll get a booster in 6 months. Also got flu jab at the same time.

Re: Cable Forum Vaccinations
A third dose of any manufacturer’s covid vaccine is a booster. I’m not sure where the confusion has arisen but I keep running into people who seem to believe that the “booster jab” is a completely different drug. It isn’t. At most, it might be a different company’s vaccine formula, depending on clinical advice and/or availability, or a different dosage. But fundamentally the booster is just another dose of vaccine.

Re: Cable Forum Vaccinations
We had our Pfizer boosters on the 27th Sept at a dedicated Covid vacc site - so 9/10 days ago. Next morning our GP gave us our Flu jabs along with my regular B12 injection.
As usual with previous jabs we both had sore arms for a couple of days but no other side effects.

Re: Cable Forum Vaccinations
No sign of them happening outside of care homes here in Wales, and the First Minister has been silent, apart from yesterday's vote to bring in a covid "Pass".

In Scotland anyway they are calling it a 3rd dose and you get what you had for the first 2. They stated I will get a booster in 6 months.

I had my 2nd shot in April.
In Scotland they are calling it a 3rd dose. With another booster shot in 6 months time.

You have to have had a booster shot before you can get another booster shot

That's interesting regarding the flu jab. I'd already had mine but was told you can't have the two jabs within three days of each other - I assume they were just referring to the Pfizer vaccine. Seems to be some confilicting information.

Speaking today to a friend who’s a doctor - they revised the advice, it’s ok to have both at the same time now.

It's perfectly fine to get both together. I got them last week at the vaccine centre I went to.

Re: Cable Forum Vaccinations
I got my Flu jab today, and the advice on it is other vaccines can be given at the same time.
I wont get any booster until the end of November (at the earliest) as that would be six months after my 2nd jab.

Re: Cable Forum Vaccinations
When we went for our booster shots we were expecting to have our Flu jabs at the same time. On the day it wasn't possible because there had been none delivered. As far as I know the centre we went to still hasn't had any delivered.
I was due to have my B12 jab at the Doctors the next day and I asked if he could do our Flu jabs. Unfortunately he hadn't had his order delivered either but knew that the independent chemists in the same building had been receiving their weekly Flu vaccination stocks for 2 weeks.
The Doctor phoned through to the Chemists and the lovely, helpful Pharmacist came through to the surgery and gave my husband and I our jabs which saved us having to make an appointment with him later in the week.
