Question about the third vaccination not booster

[Fallagain]

Does anyone know if someone who is immunosuppressed and who is due their 3rd vaccine should be having the same type eg AZ for their third dose? TIA

No, you get Pfizer.

Thank you

I thought the third primary dose was the same as your first two, then your booster six months later is Pfizer/Moderna?

Nope I had AZ for my first two, my third was Pfizer

From the JVCI recommendations:
For those aged 18 years and over, JCVI advises a preference for mRNA vaccines for the third primary dose, with the option of the AstraZeneca Vaxzevria vaccine for individuals who have received this vaccine previously where this would facilitate delivery. In exceptional circumstances, persons who received a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine previously may be offered a third primary dose of AstraZeneca Vaxzevria vaccine following a decision by a health professional on a case-by-case, individualised basis.

I had AZ originally. I had my booster at GP yesterday Pfizer. They will call me back in 6 months for booster.
In theory you can have Pfizer or moderna but I don't think there is much moderna around.

I had my 3rd primary yesterday not booster.....

Thanks - do have a link for this please?

Found it. For some reason it didn’t occur to me immediately to just copy and google it!

I had AstraZeneca for my first two and my third primary.
