My consultant oncologist last week informed me I could have my fourth Covid jab 12 weeks after my third vaccine however when I e-mailed my GP practice this morning regarding this so that I could go to the local pharmacy for my jab they said just book on the NHS Covid website and if there is a problem go back to the GP surgery. However, the surgery also said the guidance is changing all the time.
Hearing the news today I haven't yet heard that patients receiving chemotherapy only have to wait 12 weeks and not 6 months so if anybody has it confirmed to them in the next few weeks that they only have to wait 12 weeks and not 6 months since their third jab I would be grateful to hear that please. The messaging from the Government has confused me to today as they appear to be saying that the clinically vulnerable can have their fourth jab in Spring as long as it is six months since their last jab or are chemotherapy patients treated differently?
To add to the confusion I had my last jab (my third jab) on 1st December 2021 but due to the way the local pharmacy entered and then tried to correct an error it appears on my medical records as though my last jab was in early January so I will not automatically receive a text saying I'm entitled to a fourth jab even if 12 weeks have gone by due to the error on my medical records. (I am trying to get this corrected but it's still ongoing despite me contacting my GP practice twice and the pharmacy that gave me the third Covid vaccine).
If I know we only have to wait 12 weeks for the fourth jab and I can't book this online I will contact my GP again.
Thank you for any help and advice.
I have screenshot what my hospital have sent me and attached it, not sure if helps you. X
