COVID-19 - dermatology

Omicron update from the Leeds Centre for Dermatology 31/12/21:

You should have FOUR vaccine doses overall (3 to begin with, AND one booster 3 months after third dose) IF you are taking any of the following and/or were taking any of the following during ANY Covid-vaccine dose you had: any biologic (generic drug name ends -mab, for instance adalimumab, secukinumab, risankizumab), methotrexate, ciclosporin, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, dimethyl fumarate, apremilast, baricitinub, abrocitinib, upadacitinib.

If you are NOT on such drugs (and you are not immunocompromised for other reasons) and needed only 2 initial Covid-vaccine doses, you still need a third booster dose.
