Booster

I had two vaccines in May. I haven’t had the booster as I just don’t want more vaccines less than a year on. Neither do I want a different type of vaccine to the originals. OH was really I’ll after his booster.
I have two holidays booked abroad this year. I am happy to have a PCR in order to travel, but am unsure what the regulations are now and whether that will be acceptable.
I just don’t know what to do. If I have the booster closer to the time of travel, will that count? I have phoned the helpline but spoke to someone clueless.
It’s all such a minefield. My concern is if I have the booster now, they’ll probably be insisting we have yet another one by the time we travel anyway.

What evidence is there of better immunity with difference vaccines though?

The google search term you want is "evidence heterologous immunisation" and you will find many papers and articles. General consensus is that it's at least as good as and often better than just the one type.

It also saddens me that I may not be able to travel freely ever again if I don't keep having boosters. I can try for medical exemption but I don't know whether I can prove it or if it would be granted.
As you have safely received one or more shots, I think your chances of being medically exempt are nil.

Bloody great. I've got long term fatigue and joint pain from it yet I could be all sorts of restrictions placed on me because I won't potentially make myself worse with another jab.

This is what I fear.
