Pfizer jab for me a couple of weeks ago.
Whole operation was very slick and I've had no reactions other than the expected tenderness at the injection site for about 24 hours.

It would be nice if this topic could stay on track rather than become political :good:

My second is on the 14th April. I had the Pfizer. We have 2 local large centres, one does Pfizer and the other Oxford AstraZeneca. About an hour wait for the Pfizer, no wait for the Oxford. If local chat is to believed? then there were 200 missed appointments one day for the Oxford.

Our GP is a 90 second walk from the workshop so I consider myself lucky to be called in early on the day the village was snowed in. My call was at 09:15 and the jab was at 14:15 so no chance to think about it.

Someone I know who is well placed in pharmaceuticals when asked which jab to go with, replied the best vaccine you can have is the first one you can get.

I had the AZ at Basingrad Fire Station, administered by an actual fireman, all very painless, and minimal side effects. The wife had the Pfizer without any side effects, but middle sprog, severely asthmatic, got the AZ and was a sick as a parrot for a few days.

I have been offered the vaccine, but the centre was a 40+ mile round trip, so I am waiting a vaccine to be available at my local centre (should be about two weeks wait).

My wife had the vaccine a few weeks ago, since she was in a higher group since she has had cancer.
