London medical, COVID booster required?

[Joseph Underwood 5]

Hi has anyone experienced the London medical recently? I thought I was ok with the COVID vaccination as I am fully vaccinated with 3 shots but that was in 2022. I read on here someone said that you need a booster within the last 12 months? Or is that only if not fully vaccinated. Any knowledge or if someone has been through it recently can say of there experience would be really appreciated!

It is a booster in the last 12 months. You need documentation of this as well.

Thanks Lenny, yeah I just booked an appointment. All it says is COVID vaccine though. Is that just the same as getting a booster? I did it through pharma doc. Doing it the day before my medical now

You either need a full set of vaccines (whether it's one, two or three doses) within the stated timeframe OR if you received your vaccine(s) before this timeframe, you need to evidence a booster.

Yes it's the same thing. I had my medical and they told me I needed a covid booster. I went to a private pharmacy and told them, paid for it, they gave me a certificate thing which I then emailed to the medical visa place. Make sure you get evidence of the shot so you can take it to the medical with you 😊
