Anyone had it?

Was it booster strength or full strength?

How were your side effects?

Husband had two identical letters from NHS to consider having fourth jab. I had none though more vulnerable than him. Phoned doctor. Apparently computer picks out people!! Anyhow she did letters for both of us. Phoned 119 and got appointment at chemist. So now had four Pfizer each. Only ever had sore arm.

I have had 3 vaccinations & a booster as I was identified as CEV. I also had to have all AZ due to an allergy.
I had mild reactions to each one..after the first being most noticeable.

I tested positive for Covid 1/3/22 & had bad head cold symptoms but was not wiped out by it. Took 12 days b4 a neg. test & am now absolutely fine.

I have had 3 primary vaccinations and a booster (4th vaccination). I am concerned that I received 3 subsequent letters and 2 emails telling me that I should have the booster/4th vaccination.

I contacted 119 and they rang me back to check their records. They suggested I contacted my GP to ensure that my GP practice had the same information because the two systems don't share information!

An email to my GP, setting out all my vaccination details has received no acknowledgement!

It's not surprising I have had problems with 3rd/4th vaccinations. It will be interesting to see if I am called for vaccination number 5 at the end of April!

I had Covid at Christmas 2021.
Although not needing to be hospitalised (probably thanks to monoclonal antibody infusion) it was 6 weeks before I could say I was feeling better. It's not an experience I want to repeat.

My DH had a text from the surgery yesterday inviting him to make an appt. online for his next booster.
He's 75 but not CEV.

He made an appt., but the surgery rang later to cancel it.
They said they had made a mistake and he shouldn't have been invited yet, as there should be at least six months between it and the last booster, so he will have to wait another six or seven weeks..
