Booster will now available for all adults over 18, 'No sooner than 3 months from 2nd vaccine'.
Immunosuppressed should get 4th dose 3 months after 3rd dose, not 6 months.

Well, if 3 for them is the equivalent of 2 for us, then sure. But they have said that the protection starts waning after 5 months and I've not once seen that it does earlier for the immunocompromised

You can’t compare this group with the rest of the population. The issue is that it takes more for them to mount a response and get a good level of protection in the first place - not that it wanes more quickly.

You probably have a better chance of fighting off COVID with no vaccination than many of this group do even when they have had 2 or 3 jabs. They are not a group that you should be thinking don’t deserve the highest priority for vaccination at every step.
