My 3rd one really gave me a bunch of issues and are still present today

The 1st and 2nd were no issue, but the 3rd was Pfizer and within a couple of days I had numbness down one side into my left leg and then ended up with eczema. I've never had issues like that before and I can only associate with the receipt of the 3rd jab. The numbness is still there from time to time and I've only just got rid of the eczema using pretty strong creams.

Will I have a 4th ? I probably will but not until I actually have to. As example Spain currently require you to prove you have had a booster within 12 months of your arrival to gain entry. I suspect the 4th, 5th etc will be required ongoing unless entrance rules such as these are negated.

Were your 1st and 2nd doses Astra Zeneca? Your 3rd dose from Pfizer would have been an mRNA injection, which AZ is not. Hence your issues.

If you're not over 60 or have an underlying health condition then there's far better/more enjoyable things to spend your time doing. The benefit of not signing up to the vaccine is that it will discourage governments from implementing draconian and unnecessary travel restrictions. Most people are too stupid and lazy to think for themselves though so are are happy to go along with it for an easy life. It's similar to the idea that most people would rather hear comfortable lies rather than uncomfortable truths.

Indeed that was the case. As and when I have a 4th jab I'll be trying my best to make sure it's AZ !

If you have a 4th primary vaccination (ie. you are immunospressed) the default is Pfizer although AZ and Moderna are available but only for clinical reasons, ie. you are allergic etc

The recently announced Spring and Autumn "boosters" are again Pfizer.

my mate was like this, watching youtube conspiracies channels, the government wants us all dead. I said why would the government want us dead yet offer a vaccines that help us live?

He then got this ''flu'', was ill for weeks, didn't do a test but obvious was CV19. If he had had the jab, very likely would have had less symptoms and recovered quickly, yet we are sheeple for having the Jab, all odd.

49 and clinically vulnerable here (immunosuppressed), I had my 4th Pfizer jab last week.

No side effects other than a bit of mild arm pain at the injection site for 24hrs afterwards, as per pervious jabs.

I have still not contracted Covid, despite having a kid at primary school and a wife working in one throughout the pandemic whilst I was 'shielding', both of whom have had it and lived around me with it.

I have resumed going to live gigs again, lots of people in a crowded space, very little mask wearing, I do a LFT before/after each one, still not had it.

Everyone's circumstances are different, but for me it proves the efficacy of the vaccine.

I still wear a mask on public transport and in shops, out of respect to my fellow citizens who may be worried about it.

Please don't polute health threads with your misinformed and unread rhetoric.

The "4th Jab" the OP is referring to will be a fourth "booster" vaccination specifically for the immunocompromised. The 4th jab "spring booster" is for the over 75's and clinically vulnerable and available 6 months after your last vaccination, so for even the early vaccinated that will be late March/April.

I had a friend like that too. Sad ending after nearly 6 weeks in ICU.

Mt letter said 3 months after the third jab.
