I’m having mine on Wednesday, along with my flu vaccine.

Better to be safe than sorry, I’d say

I’m CEV and had the booster vaccine about three weeks ago. The first two were AZ but the booster was Pfizer and I did have a bit of a reaction but nothing major. I had the flu jab the week before and the nurse was saying that they will hopefully be combining the two jabs next year, so it looks as though it will be a yearly thing.

My Dad (90) has had his Covid booster with no problems.

Rather more concerning is that the pharmacy said today there is a big shortage of the over-65 flu vaccine and they don't know when they might get any.

Can’t wait for mine.

So the email has come and I clicked the link and booked it in for the end of the month . But I'm a tad nervous about it. I had no problems with pfyzer vaccines but just wondering if we really need the booster. Is this now an annual thing does anyone know, like the flu jab.
Has anyone had any issues or no issues even.
