Has anyone been offered the Astrazeneca as booster in Portugal? Tried searching and looking for other threads but couldn't find one.

you just made me realise that i never asked what booster i got and was not given any paper to say what is was

Portugal is only using Moderna (Spikevax) and Pfizer (Comirnaty) for boosters: https://www.sns24.gov.pt/tema/doenca...vid-19/#sec-24People with a primary vaccination schedule with Comirnaty®, Vaxzevria® or Spikevax® , the following rules apply:

• the booster dose must be done with Comirnaty® or Spikevax® vaccines
• must have an interval of at least 6 months (minimum 5 months) after the most recent event (last dose of the primary vaccine schedule or diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection)
• if the primary vaccination schedule was performed with an mRNA vaccine, the booster dose must be from the same brand

People with a primary vaccination schedule with COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen® the rules are as follows:

• booster dose should be done with Comirnaty® or Spikevax® vaccines
• recommended interval is at least 3 months after the most recent event (last dose of the primary vaccine schedule or diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection)

You need to go back to the Vacc Centre where you had the booster and tell them your problem. You should have had a small card with the details on it.

dont see it as a problem,just spoke to neighbour who was there same day he didnt get ,anything either.

We applied for the booster online and got a date for injection.

someone must know what you had, the reason its recorded is for stats on issues that might arise in future with any particular vaccine and how well it performs against any new variants

My other half had his booster last week., in Ourique, and no-one was told what they had.

I've had to apply for mine, so waiting to hear. I'm having to see a doc in a week or so, so will ask him, he's normally on the ball.

Has anyone used their NHS proof of 2 vaccines certificate yet? I went to the swimming pool this morning and forgot to take it, but he said the second vaccine had to be less than six months ago otherwise it woudn't be accepted. Well, it is over 6 months, where does that leave it me? I know, not able to go swimming or go to restaurants etc. At least we didn't have to show proof of two vaccines at the supermarket.

It will be on your EU certificate

I'm having mine next week, and if I remember, I ask which one we've been given.

Not looking forward to it. Himself had a painful arm for a few days and was extremely cold and all the people I've spoken to, have also had a very heavy, sore arm.

I had a sore arm too; then I realized it was the other arm, and the symptom went away.

I once had a pain 6 inches above my head. My doctor prescribed some pills to take half an hour before I wake up every morning. I thought he was nuts and then the pain disappeared.

Booster won't be given here (Italy) until 5 months after receiving the second dose. A sore arm for a few days is preferable to having covid. Don't ya think?
