Getting the second booster?

I think any inoculation after the first two is being referred to as a 'booster'.

Can you explain what the ‘second booster’ is please?
Is it the 4th vaccination?

I received a text yesterday, inviting DH to book his fifth vaccination.

It is encouraging to see that the second booster is thought to give good protection Casdon.
We are coming to the end of omicron 2 wave here at the moment. Our figures are still in the 400s per 100,000. It was about 200 in the south of England when I was there last week and about 15 in Wales!
Just as well because I ended up dancing a twmpath. ?

Interesting how criteria vary by country. Over 60 and 6 months since first booster here in France. I had mine this week, no need for appointment, just walk-in at local pharmacie.

I can see that happening in the UK too Mamie, they are now predicting another wave, and immunity is waning for all age groups in the meantime.

Mines booked for tomorrow I had to wait a month after CoviD

My husband, who at 75 is a year young than I am, got a letter and a text inviting him but I didn’t. He went online and made his appointment, then got yet another reminder to make one. I knew I had to wait a couple of weeks as I had not long had covid. I then went online and made my appointment, then after that I got a letter inviting me! Online it did list the qualifications for the second booster, so presumably if you don't meet them you can’t have it yet.
I must say, having just had covid plus booster, I feel I am pretty safe at the moment.

Our Medical Practice is doing the booster. You are sent an invite to ring for an appointment , I had mine on Tues , was a bit poorly yesterday sort of ok today but still a painful arm

I am getting my second booster next week.I waited for the letter to come inviting me despite others saying they walked in without invite.
I am ver 75 and have a chronic lung condition
I hope your DH gets one soon.

Yes, my husband was on the shielding list. So a bit of a puzzle.

My husband is my carer, and 73yrs old, I asked if he could have the second booster, (I've had it), but it was a resounding NO!

I think the second booster (4th Jab), is only for those over 75, those who work in some health and care environments and others with specific health concerns that render them less able to fight infection. I think that loosely relates to people who were instructed to shield earlier in the pandemic.

I walked into my walk-in centre a few weeks ago and was told I have to wait to be invited.

About a month ago I received an email and a letter so I have had my second booster.

I am sorry you DH has not had the second booster he deserves. My DH was able to have his at a walk in centre , although older than me he has no underlying health problems. I pushed my luck and went with him to ask if I could have mine , they said " sorry no , you must wait to be invited" So I am still waiting! I was a bit miffed , the place was very very quiet but I suppose they have rules to follow. I had of course hoped they would vaccinate me , so many people deciding not to be vaccinated and your DH is struggling - does'nt seem fair!
