Wouldn't you know it?

Appointments now re-arranged for Monday, as the vaccines haven't arrived yet.

No supply yet to our local pharmacy but we're on the list and they'll phone us when they get it.

"Are you over 60?" she asked.
"Unfortunately." I replied.

We always get our flu shots there so we know they will really call.

All done and dusted.

Very nice and very pleasant young lady at the farmacia. Went through all the normal stuff, the only wobble was himself who had a tetanus booster a month ago, but all okay. Never been asked that one before.

Slightly sore and heavy arms, but nothing to worry about.

They probably made all the British appointments at the same time, so the times were also at a similar time.

Ours is this afternoon.

I had my 2 jabs on friday.
When I printed my certificate it said 1/2
My last one said 4/4, so I thought it would be 5/5.
Any comments?

Yes just seen that my current vaccine certificate shows 4/4 with last one done on 2nd Oct this year.

Re: Covid Booster 2023
 
How many Covid jabs have individuals had since this all started. That is to say the full number for over 65s incl the latest one.
I have had all jabs done inc the recent booster and my SNS record shows 4/4, bit I seem to think it should be 5/5.....can anyone confirm which it should be?

Re: Covid Booster 2023
 
Is the entire history relevant any more? :unsure:

Re: Covid Booster 2023
 
Yes;
The new vaccine is tailored for the latest strains, but the old ones are still in circulation.
The early vaccines immunized us against those.

Re: Covid Booster 2023
 
I meant in terms of being able to demonstrate it, for those who are concerned that it's not showing up on their latest certificate, as opposed to whether the vaccination itself had served any purpose.

For those whose latest certificates aren't showing what they think they should, have you tried looking at your vaccination record on the SNS24 site? If so, is that consistent with your full history or is it the same as the certificate?
