Hi All in UK,
Today I had my 4th Pfizer jab.The NHS seems to have got itself in a pickle regarding the recording of vaccinations for the immuno suppressed .In September 2021 JCVI referred to the need for an extra dose for those with certain medical conditions and referred to the Third Primary Dose .However there was then no facility to record the third dose as third Primary so it was called a booster.
Following a tip from a previous post on here in early January 2022 I called 119 option 4 to seek a correction to my personal record;I was promised a call back within a time frame and that after a big delay has now taken place .After much interrogation on the phone and having to quote dates ,location ,manufacturer and batch numbers of previous vaccinations, it should now record as:
Dose: One or 1
Dose:Two or 2
Dose: Two-Two or 2-2
Dose:Booster
My NHS app though showed 1, 2, 2 (not 2-2) after the update and eventually hopefully will have a booster added to it.
Upon check in today at a walk in centre managed by Procare on behalf of NHS they could not locate my Dose 1 but luckily I had a record of location type and batch number and thankfully I was also armed with a consultants letter.So different databases seem to exist!
The system is still imperfect;you have to be well armed with evidence and be prepared to explain the situation.
Regards
John
