Hello Michael, again. Just picked up on your referral to azd7442 can you explain this to us all please. I’m getting more confused by the minute.

I was disturbed to read your post. My husband had vaccine 3 and 4 after his sct. I had presumed that he would be eligible for booster in 6 months.
This really is appalling it seems that we are all left to sort it out ourselves. I will certainly be chasing this up. Thanks.

I take it you are at Shrewsbury haematology. You need to flag this up with your consultant. My husbands vaccine was organised very well in the end. Refer to Anthony Nolan site where it refers to revaccination, it also refers to a time of I think 3 weeks between jab 3 & 4. You should have received a letter from the transplant team stating you need to be fully revaccinated.I hope this is helpful. I had an awful time sorting this out but got there in the end.Good Luck

Hi all.

I have raised this concern with the Shrewsbury consultant today , he wasn’t aware of the problem but will obviously taking this further. However Birmingham vaccination centre called me today to book an appointment. I am glad we managed to get it in Shropshire as really don’t want to travel the 100 mile round trip on the M6. It goes on.

Hi Jane

We were advised it was 3 months post transplant although I presume everyone is different.

I would gather all the information you can while you are still in contact with the City hospital. Hopefully by the time your husband is ready for revaccination this mess will have been sorted out.
Good luck its a tough time but oh so worth it.

I do know how you feel. It is absolutely ridiculous.
My husband had his stem cell transplant beginning April at the QE Birmingham. All fantastic and now on maintenance programme.

However as you say trying now to get revaccinated is impossible.

GP’s very sympathetic but unable to arrange appointment.
119 shows already vaccinated.
Emailed medical director Shropshire community health who passed my details onto Shropshire Telford and Wrekin covid vaccination service. She was able to arrange an appointment at the Orthopaedic hospital vaccination centre in Oswestry. Luckily he received this last Monday. I really don’t know how we will get on when he needs dose no 4. as it looks like the centres will be closing
What amazes me is that the transplant unit was full when my husband was in and no doubt has been full everyday since.
Don’t you think after what you have all been through this might be less stressful situation. I am so angry about it all and I will be emailing whoever I can. Local MP, CEO National health for England and possibly Sajid Javid. Watch this space.
Glad the transplant has worked and I hope you are able to get your jab soon.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I suppose its unknown territory at the moment and I am sure we will know a little more when his immune system has recovered. Thank you again for the information.

[shropshirelassParticipant]

Thanks you for your advice. I have replied to you directly but thank you, I will certainly start researching that one.
