Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
At the start of the vaccination rollout only Pfizer was licensed for use in the UK and about half a million of those were given out predominantly to the most vulnerable over 80s group. You definitely won't get a choice now. But a large number of the over 80s group was vaccinated with pfizer at the very start as AZ deliveries would have still been in transit.

Catching covid is nowhere near as life threatening as being bitten by a snake......I hate snakes!

Perhaps I've been a little bit too vocal about my reasons for not wanting the vaccine.....

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
Australia's medical regulator has approved the domestic production of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, with the first batches expected to be released "in the next few days."The second phase of Australia's COVID-19 vaccination program starts today, with millions of Australians set to become eligible for their first dose.
Phase 1B includes Australians aged 70 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders aged 55 and over, younger Australians with underlying health conditions and frontline healthcare workers.
International supply problems mean some GP clinics will initially only get 50 doses per week, while flooding and storms in New South Wales were expected to delay deliveries in parts of that state.
Some patients and doctors have also expressed frustration with how Phase 1B had been announced, with some GP clinics saying they were not prepared for bookings to open.
