I’ve had three primary jabs, the full fat versions not the booster which is half a primary dose, and I’ve still tested positive. Irresponsible and silly comments from someone who talks sense (usually).
She was very good on “Woman’s Hour”, but ‘sold her soul for a mess of pottage’ when she went to work for that rag.
A third primary is given to those who are immunosuppressed. I was given a third primary immediately after my radical radiotherapy. When I asked the nurse what was the difference between a 3rd primary and a booster I was told a booster was half a dose. Sorry if her information has caused confusion. https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/go/covid-19-vaccinations-third-dose-for-the-immunosuppressed-not-boosters/
I've had a third dose too due to being immunocompromised. We can get a booster as well in 6 months time (or earlier at the government's discretion). If you read the FAQ in your link it says at 4. What's the difference between a third dose and a booster: A third dose is a top up for those who may not have had a full immune response from the first two doses. The aim is to give you a similar level of protection as someone without a weakened immune system who has had two doses. A booster is an extra dose to help people who have had two doses retain their immunity, maximising their protection against COVID-19 ahead of the tricky winter months.
Also you have to have all the jabs and boosters done in both arms because if you only have them done in the same arm then there is a chance the unjabbed arm will get covid.
And if you end up with Long Covid in the unjabbed arm, you'll look a proper pillock with one arm 6 inches longer than the other.
