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.

      Niko was recommended to me through a group chat for my road, where everybody raves about him. I soon realised why as he did an amazing job installing an outdoor tap for me. I needed it done quickly but had a hectic schedule, and Niko did everything possible to accommodate this, bringing the parts and working late on a Friday, having worked out the best solution for my maze of pipes. The tap looks great and works amazingly with good pressure. He made minimal mess and cleaned everything up, and charged me a very competitive price. On top of that he is delightful to chat to and willing to give advice on other matters. He’s a lovely man and will be my go-to for any issues in the future! Recommend to anybody in the Dulwich/ Peckham/Camberwell area!!

      We've used Aria a couple of times - this time a tap that was causing water hammer elsewhere in the house, he replaced it and checked all was well. He was prompt, quick in his work, and charged what he said he would. Will use him again.

      Hi I found a phone on the pavement near the bus stop half way up lordship lane opposite M&S and have handed into one of the estate agents there (KFH). Please call in there if you have lost it.
