Every jab will hopefully get us through this pandemic 🤞🏻

However, Marge tells me that most of her friends were asked to wait for fifteen minutes after the injection in case of a reaction.
Thankfully, you and I have had no such reaction, but I wonder why some places take this additional precaution and others do not.

I wonder whether it is the 'pop-up' vaccination centres that don't follow the 15 minutes because they don't have the room? When my husband had his jab we were told that the 15 minutes wait was a government directive.

However, Marge tells me that most of her friends were asked to wait for fifteen minutes after the injection in case of a reaction.My sister received the Astrazenica jab from our local vaccination last Saturday morning and did not need to wait. My husband, on the other hand, received his this morning at the same centre. He was given the Pfizer jab and was required to wait for 15 mins.
