If you have already had AZ

[SweetAsANutt]

and under 30 and due your second AZ soon, do we still get the AZ jab?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before. I couldn't find it anywhere.

Because of the recent news just wondering if I'll still get my second dose or will need to wait for something else.

TIA.

From what I've read if you've already had AZ you'll second dose will be the same, no matter what your age.

Not necessarily.

NHS letter to GPs and vaccination centres regarding regarding the AstraZeneca Vaccine and next steps

Second doses

• JCVI state ‘all those who have received a first dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine should continue to be offered a second dose of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, irrespective of age.’
Therefore, for recipients in cohorts 1-9 who have received a first dose of AstraZeneca and are due to receive their second dose, no further action is required and these appointments should continue.
MHRA are clear that the only individuals who should not have a second dose of AstraZeneca are those set out below:
‘Administration of the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca in patients with a history of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, acquired or hereditary thrombophilia, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or antiphospholipid syndrome should only be considered when the potential benefit outweighs any potential risks. Patients who have experienced major venous and arterial thrombosis occurring with thrombocytopenia following vaccination with any COVID-19 vaccine should not receive a second dose of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca.’

I'll be due my 2nd dose in May. At this point, yes I'll definitely still get it. I'm 28.
