Jabberwonked again

Last month we were utterly confused by my 3rd jab having been logged as the booster jab on my GP's SystmOnline record.

Yesterday my 4th jab went on that record as a booster jab.

Those two entries can't both be correct - the NHS website clearly states that "A 3rd dose and booster dose (4th dose) of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine is being offered to people aged 12 and over who had a severely weakened immune system when they had their first 2 doses." Leaving aside the poor grammar ("is" should be "are") it's as plain as day that the NHS are saying that, for those who are at higher risk, only the 4th jab is a booster:

 

 

Yet my GP's SystmOnline record implies that I've been double-jabbed and then double-boosted, which is farcical.

Something is clearly wrong in somebody's head and/or somebody's system, but there seems to be no way to get it fixed.

I think I'll lose the will to live before Covid-19 gets me.

Back in September one of my haematologists arranged for me to have what she called a "third COVID jab".

For some unfathomable reason, that "third" jab has gone on my GP record as having been a "booster" jab.

Now I'm reading NHS articles about having a "vaccine 3rd dose" (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine-3rd-dose/). That article stresses the fact that "The 3rd vaccine dose for people with a severely weakened immune system is different to a booster dose."

 

"

 

So now we're utterly confused. Have I been double-jabbed and boosted, or triple-jabbed? If I'm called for another shot do I need to be specific about which one (AZ, Pfizer, Moderna, other)? Bearing in mind that my antibody response to my current three shots has been zilch, is it really worth me having another?

Common-sense says "have another jab, it might work". Common-sense also says "don't waste a jab that someone else might need"

Anyway, here's a thing:

 

Immunity

"This plan may sound appealing to people who know a little about the immune system, but the drawbacks are clear to people who know a lot about the immune system and also to people who don't know anything about it."
