Covid booster on first trimester

I’m eligible for my booster, have been for a while but am 8 weeks pregnancy and unsure about whether to have it in the first trimester.
My second dose was in April so a while ago now.

What are other people doing?
TIA

I had mine at 14 weeks. All good so far. I'm feeling really reassured that I've had 3 vaccines Smile

My doctor suggested waiting until after 12 weeks, because vaccination could trigger fever, which could be harmful during those early weeks. I got my booster at exactly 12 weeks Smile

I got my second vaccine at 9 weeks & will get my booster when eligible (now 28 weeks)

Thanks all think I’ll wait until 12 weeks

The advice from doctors who are experts in caring for pregnant women and unborn babies (the Royal College of Obstetricians) info is that the booster vaccine is safe and recommended at any gestation of pregnancy.
You may put your baby at increased risk if you delay and your 2nd dose was as long ago as April, but if you are under 40 then you may struggle to get a booster appointment in the next 2-3 weeks anyway as the are so in demand!
