Video allegedly showing a UK out of hours doctor in advising the young caller who experienced an adverse reation to her first vaccine, not to get any booster, and that the vaccines themselves will be stopped in the near future.
Note: i googled the number shown on the phone and numerous reports show it as being: St Richard's Hospital, Chichester - which corresponds with the claim in the post.
Notes from the conversation (the video is about 2 minutes long):
- For young people with 'intact' immunity, there's no need for getting the vaccine.
- She says data is now coming out that wasn't available earlier and very soon, all of the vaccines will be stopped: 'This information has just come up but you won't hear it on TV for a while, "it's a long story", people don't know, but they will be stopped. Even though her GP may say get the vaccine, it's not necessary'.
- She advises to the caller that her 22 year old sister should not get the booster, "absolutely not, no, she does not need it".
The time and date of the call aren't clear, but if the call is out of hours, it sounds to me like the Dr (who has a foreign accent) is working shift and is tired (maybe has just woken up).

Iv made this available to share
I wasn't sure if to post this or not but I feel this information should be shared.
Friday I decided to have my 1st covid vaccine only because I'm due to travel this year and It made life a lot easier.
I'd had covid last year and I wasn't ill in the slightest so I didn't feel I needed it.
4 hours after having it I developed 3 lumps on my head, 2 pea size and 1 grape size (these are still here)
I called 111 Friday evening and was told a doctor would phone, Saturday evening I received this call from the doctor.
I had spoken to her a few minutes previously, that's when we decided to record as she was telling me not to have it any more etc.
If you listen till the end she advices me to tell my sister to also not have her booster.
I goggled the number and its does show some have reported it as a scam but I decided to phone 111 back and the Chichester out of hours doctors to confirm it was a gp I'd spoken to (again this was recorded) and they confirmed it was her I spoke to.
This isn't to scare anyone or sway peoples decisions to have the vaccine or not, but my 12 year old son was due to have it next week, something I was very unsure on but this has confirmed he won't be having it.
