Very late Covid 2nd dose....worried!

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi all,

My husband had his first Covid vaccine back in April and he had the AstraZeneca vaccine.

He was extremely poorly for about 5 days with it, he was struggling with breathing, awful fever, vomiting, unable to eat, not sleeping, struggling to drink and severe aching. We did contact the doctor as he never moans about illness's but he was really really bad with this and the doctor said over the phone this was normal and he would be fine in a week.

He had to cancel all his jobs he had booked in as he couldn't move which hit us financially again after the lockdown. He refused to get his 2nd jab after the way he felt.

I am desperate for him to get his 2nd jab and he said he will only go ahead if its the Phizer vaccine. I have tried to ring up to see if its too late for him to have his 2nd jab and is it possible to have the Phizer but they didn't really know if it was too late. They said they think the 1st jab has probably expired by now and to contact the doctor. I have tried to get a telephone appointment with the doctor but they are refusing to book and appointment and asked me to ring the Covid line but they are asking me to ring the doctor....no one will speak to me and i'm worried with all the cases at the moment, if he gets Covid i will lose him!

Does anyone have any advice if its too late to get a 2nd dose nearly 6 months after the 1st jab?

Or, will they give him a 1st jab again and then a 2nd jab?

Is it possible to have Phizer if he didn't have that the first time as he can't have that again?

Thank you all x
