I've got my booster on Tuesday but had covid in Sept however the email just received states 'You should also wait if you have a high temperature or feel particularly unwell with any illness. If you have recently got better from COVID-19, there is no need to delay getting vaccinated.' Although mentioned on some websites, no mention of the 28 days in the email.
Hmm. Thanks for the heads-up. I got the 28 days wait from the govt website. When I'm over it and testing negative, I'll get onto it again.
Mine has been reliable. Made by Promise Technology Ltd, Taiwan. From memory, it cost around £15.
This has good reviews...
I saw the same info but my jab on Tuesday is 27 days after symptoms started (although mine only lasted 6 days and nearly scuppered Marseille). Email came before I cancelled luckily.
Yes this one from Amazon
Does the 28 days clock start ticking from the onset of symtoms then? I assumed I would need to wait until I tested negative. I can't seem to get back to the place on the NHS website where it may tell me.
If you have a pre-existing condition that requires you to have an oxymeter then of course you should at least be ringing 111. I've just read the reply saying you're going to A&E, I hope all is well very soon.
The website is a bit ambiguous. the one I read the other week says 28 days from when you tested positive or 28 days from your first symptoms. If you keep taking tests then your last positive test is the last one before you tested negative! I was positive for 7 days (tested negative on a Wed morning. However, have just checked and this is on another Gov website :-

- My GP suggested I get one after a serious asthma attack - and a smart watch with a pulse/defib monitor on it and a BP monitor! - you must have a good GP because we have to buy our own medical home monitoring stuff up here where I live! The Consultant and several nurses looked at mine the 5 mnths I was in and out of hospital and said it was as good as the one he uses in his clinic (mine is CE marked and MHRA registered so is UK Government approved) - not everything on Amazon is fake.
Before vaccinations in 2020 doctors and medical professionals were advising everyone to buy an oximeter. They are cheap and its a fairly simple bit of kit so seems sensible for people to have one. for the original poster its certainly proved its worth. some info about what they are is here https://www.england.nhs.uk/blog/a-s...nd-could-change-how-we-provide-care-for-good/
Forgive me for sounding stupid but why are people comparing the best oxymeter to buy on Amazon?
I specifically excluded you in my post as I know you need one. I think I'm more troubled by people not knowing what they are, feeling the need to buy one. Yours is marked and registered but not everyone looks out for those things. I'm very fortunate that I don't need home monitoring but if I was to ring up my surgery & say my sats are low as I bought something from Amazon to test them. He'd ask why I bought it in the first place. My point was that if my GP said I needed some monitoring equipment, I'd get it. I wouldn't just buy it just in case or for random testing.Think you are reading posts too quickly
No one is ‘comparing’ Oximeters on Amazon - The poster asked for recommendations so I recommended one I happened to have bought on Amazon about 7 mnths ago

Oh, well apologises if I've been sounding insensitive but that completely passed me by in any advice given. I now know the reason people who haven't been advised by their GP's to have one, have one.
There are a few assumptions going on there.If you have a pre-existing condition that requires you to have an oxymeter then of course you should at least be ringing 111. I've just read the reply saying you're going to A&E, I hope all is well very soon.
Forgive me for sounding stupid but why are people comparing the best oxymeter to buy on Amazon? Yes I know @Zeberdi needs one & their consultant has said to get one. I'm just unsure why others are getting one when they don't know what they're for. Just to warn you, I had a temperature of 104 degrees for a highly rated thermometer from Amazon. I was fine and was just testing it.
Do not buy medical stuff from Amazon*, some of it is as fake as the stuff on Ebay*. If your GP or medical consultant thinks you need something, they'll get it for you.
*Other online retailers are available.
you came accross as a bit blunt but thats perfectly fine cos It is a bit disconcerting to think that people are suddenly buying up this thing to make sure they have got enough oxygen. If you are young and no serious health conditions it might be a bit overkill to get one but also if you have covid and feel quite ill with it then might be worth having acces to one then.
I'll answer in reverse...
