Have you had your covid booster yet?

[luvulongtime]

getting mine sunday

 

[rokerexile]

Just waiting for the six months interval to be up in December then I’ll have the booster willingly.

Mother is in hospital with a bit of a reaction after her booster and flu vaccine yesterday and chemo. Nothing major, just sickness but took her in because she’s cancer patient.
Sunderland Royal were great. Straight in at A&E, obs done, no waiting, straight round to side room away from everyone else. Then up to a side room on a ward for bloods X-ray and urinalysis.

I had my third primary dose (not my booster) yesterday afternoon, after receiving a letter advising me that informed me that I needed this due to having a significantly weakened immune system.

Looks as though I'll have a fourth dose, the booster, in around 6 months.

Interesting, thank you. Hope all goes well for you.

Had booster Monday last week, still not showing on NHS app as having been done

Anyone else in same boat?

Same here had mine 2 weeks ago (booster), still not on my NHS app. I made sure I got a card to show I'd had it done, but I had to ask for it

Things got a bit worse, Neutropenic Sepsis. Luckily caught it very early and Sunderland Royal have been great sorting it. Hopefully home tomorrow if WBCs continue to rise. Almost certainly a result of chemo and Pfizer vaccine.

Not been offered a booster, but neither has a friend. who like me is double jabbed and has had Covid.

I'm ok with that.

 

[PTR]

Couldn't wait to get my 2 jabs. I know that I'm far less likely to get seriously ill if I catch covid now.
I wasn't arsed about boosters, and tbh I'd rather see those doses shared with the world to help vaccinate everyone - which is partially selfish as its rampant spreading overseas where dangerous variants will be born.

But seeing the actual results of how many antibodies are created from the booster compared to the 2nd jab was amazing. It was about 20 times more. So if I get offered, I'll probably take it. If nothing more than it'll reduce my chances of passing onto someone else.

Still waiting for my second jab. Nowhere seems to have the AZ one

We had AZ for first two and Pfizer booster. The nurse assured us they were compatible.

 

[Gelan]

Not peered reviewed yet, but interesting nonetheless. This is maybe why I had such a bad reaction to the second jab...haven't been offered the booster, so that tells a tale. As an aside, is it possible that the anti vaxers all have antibodies through unknown infection?

Large Israeli study: Natural immunity provides 13 times more protection against Delta than Pfizer's vaccine does

Big news from Maccabi Healthcare Services, which tracked many thousands of people for this (not yet peer-reviewed) study. If its findings are borne out, anyone who’s had COVID should be allowed...

Another poll.

This time it isn't so much about the vaccine type/manufacturer but how many vaccines received. Currently it seems that moderna or pfizer are the vaccines of choice for the booster jab, but in the early days of vaccination AZ wasn't used. It will be interesting to see if the booster changes to AZ as time goes on. Comments on vaccine name welcome.

The paper is on medrixv.
Their methodology does lead to slight bias against vaccines so I'm not sure it'll get picked up by anyone to get published as it is at the moment.
I don't know if the bias would be enough to drastically change the conclusions drawn but until it's addressed I doubt any bigger publisher would take it on.
I guess if they took the local case fatality rates at the time of the study they could remodel to account for it.

In relation to antivaxers it's possible but highly unlikely.

It seems clear that infection + vaccine offers best protection from the virus and the best way to get that with the least risk of death or long lasting illness is vaccine first. (not that I'm advocating anyone willingly get infected)

Just had a look on the ONS...what an impressive climb in vaxed people developing antibodies from late December 2020 to August 2021

My father who has underlying conditions kidney cancer has a bad reaction to the booster and it nearly killed him. I’m happy enough with my 2 jabs.

I was given a card, put it in back pocket of trousers, trousers got put into washer, you can guess the rest

I wonder what the craic is regarding those that volunteered to deliberately get infected.

Had my 3rd jab today all good, first 2 were AZ booster was Pfizer.
