I have been told I can go to the walk in centre but the nearest one is the other side of the Thames to me, and a drive which includes the Dartford crossing is not something I fancy

I had that letter too and what a lot of confusion it threw up! I went to a walk in hub and was told it is the same as the booster, RA nurse also told me the same.
It is a badly written letter. Basically, those who are on the 'at risk' list are advised to get a third jab as early as 28 days after the second. Dose is same as 1st 2nd and booster.
They are sending the letter to those who are close to getting the booster, hence the confusion.
I got the 'not entitled to book' too!

I cut out the confusion by going to a walk in. Done and dusted.

I have read this morning that methotrexate patients may be advised to take a two week break before jabs. I'm glad I'm not on that any more.

Anyone had one? Not a booster, but a third dose, that then has to be followed up by a booster.

I had a text in October telling me I must contact my GP about my Covid vaccine. I did and the receptionist said I would get an invitation to book an appointment. 6months and 2 weeks after my second dose and I hadn't been invited for my booster and the site said I was not entitled to book! Contacted 119 and they said I couldn't have my booster till I had a 3rd dose!! I have had to contact my GP to get him to authorise a 3rd dose? Useless ringing them so have e mailed them as advised on the recorded message on the surgery phone line. Now a bit worried as it appears I am considered vulnerable/ immunosuppressed just how much immunity I currently have. Meanwhile hubby is going for his booster today.
