Covid booster in last trimester

[EBB17]

Hi, has anybody had the booster vaccine in their last trimester of pregnancy? I had both vaccines prior to falling pregnant as a healthcare worker. Just wondered if anybody has had the booster at this stage of pregnancy and how they felt after? Mixed feelings on if to have it now or wait until after the birth!

I haven't been in your position, but perhaps you could take an antibody test to see where your levels are. If they are high, you may not even need a booster.

I'm 23 weeks and will be getting my covid booster jab next week, by that time it will be 7 months since my 2nd jab (I work on ICU so had my first 2 quite early), and me and my baby will be far more at risk of covid than we will of jab side effects so 100% going to get my booster whilst pregnant!

I won't be offered the booster any time soon - not in any of the groups - but I would absolutely take it if I was offered. And I had 24 hours of feeling awful after the second jab (I was 7 weeks then), but I would absolutely risk that again over covid in pregnancy.

I'll be getting mine at 23 weeks, hopefully (so a bit earlier than you). I think it's the safest option given that frontline workers will almost certainly be coming in contact with Covid positive patients on a regular basis. I still need to be on the wards, so I need to do everything I can to keep my baby safe while I do.
