Pabdapatch, I wish you a speedy recovery from Covid , hope you are not feeling too poorly. You wonder if it's worth now having the booster vaccination , I would say yes , wait the 4 weeks then book your vaccination, please protect yourself as much as possible.

pandapatch Do as recommended and wait the month. The medical authorities will have decided on this gap between having the illness and the vaccination for a reason and based on informed medical reearch. Neither you nor I, or anyone on GN has access to their information, and our views - other than obey the rules will be ignorant and uninformed.

I had COVID just over a month ago, and have obeyed instructions and waited until this week to have my top-up jab. I will be having it on Friday.

I had mine booked for Monday, but have caught covid!!!!, I know I have to wait 4 weeks, but wondering if worth having the booster now, as surely should have some immunity now?

We are still waiting here in Wales. You have to have an appointment letter. Both DH and I are over 75
