My MDT has recommended I get the latest COVID booster vaccine as I will be immuno compromised via chemo treatment imminently. I asked my GP practice, they contacted the gynae/oncology team and they have given me a booster session 14 days after my first chemo and about 8 days before my second. Is this similar to what any of you have been advised?
I am also aware that an RSV vaccine is being promoted for vulnerable people as my elderly father has just been offered one.......?
Finally my partner works in a school so will be exposed to god knows what whilst trying to care for me part time. Carers no longer qualify automatically for COVID vaccines unless they themselves are vulnerable. Has anyone succeeded in persuading their GP to provide vaccine free to such a carer who does not automatically qualify based on potential secondary risk?
Many thanks, Paws.
