Southwark Vaccination - immuno suppressed.


The letter is from South Southwark Primary Care Network Vac. Service

It's asking if you have children in the 12-15 year old age group and advising they get jabbed.

I am wondering if this is a round robin or have hit the list of immuno supressed which according to immunologist I am! .

I'm immuno suppressed and haven't had that letter, however as I've scarcely had any post for weeks it will probably arrive in a few months' time, if it ever does.


But it may be that it is only going out to people in the age group likely to have children of that age, which I'm not (granchildren yes, children no!)

No formal announcement yet but press speculation is that all over 50s will receive a third (booster) vaccine by Christmas, starting with over 70s and targeting approximately a 6 month interval from the second vaccine being administered. I am assuming that those clinically vulnerable who were in the first wave (if under 70) will also be included in that new first wave, but those details haven't been disclosed (neither have they about key, e.g. NHS, staff). I am over 70 and anticipating an October jab, based on that.

Just catching up on this. I am on immunosuppressants and also got contacted. I also had a text to book mu booster jab, which I did and was then miraculously cancelled with no explanation. I have not had another text to rebook in 2 weeks. Has anyone else had the opportunity to book a booster at Tessa Jowell?

If you are immunosuppressed - double check whether it?s a third jab or booster that you are meant to get. I was getting confused with messaging from the government about a month ago, because third jab/booster sounds like same thing but it isn?t. Without knowing the deep ins and outs, I can only tell that whenever I do get called, I?ve to refer to my conditions website and a pre templated letter they have prepared, to say get a third jab (think measurements are different to booster). I also had an email from a study I was in, saying to get a third jab.

In my meanderings today I found this page from the College of Physicians https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/guidelines-policy/covid-19-vaccination-people-who-are-severely-immunosuppressed-third-primary-dose which usefully makes clear the distinction between the the third primary dose offered to the severely immunosuppressed and the booster offered to the rest of us, much as muffins78 says. I suppose it doesn't rule out the possibility of you folk being offered your own booster, further down the line, though I suspect that future vaccination plans for all of us are still very much in the air, and dependent on whatever emerges from ongoing research and monitoring.

      Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
