1/n
@KatharineDC thanks for raising issue of #ThirdPrimaryDoses of #CovidVaccine
This is causing a LOT of confusion for patients as there is not a clear recall system
We are told that specialist teams should advise their patients
However - if patients think they are eligible
2/n
Then I would suggest they contact their specialist teams or clinical nurse specialists for advice
The #ThirdPrimaryDose is given at 8 weeks after the 2nd dose for some high risk individuals
This is NOT the same as the 3rd #COVIDBooster being given to otherwise lower risk
3/n The Green book lists all the eligibility in detail
Here's a link to the full section, relevant pages below screenshotted @DrNeenaJha @Azeem_Majeed @PrimaryCareNHS @rich_pratt

As often is the case, much of this is about communication
The blog below stands largely true
5/n Thanks @KatharineDC for raising this
