If you really want the Pfizer vaccine, go to one of the mass vaccination centres. Only they have the freezers to store it at -70 degrees. If you want the Oxford vaccine, wait till your local health practice invites you to attend for the jab. because they won't have the facilities to store the Pfizer one.
I think i said that i had already had the Pfizer vaccination a week ago today. I still have to have the booster though..

You was sort of suggesting the public get a choice in vaccines which you don't.
Actually the public does get a choice which Vaccine they have. If you don`t want a particular one you can refuse it .Of course you will have to wait to be invited again i suppose but there is a choice.

The Pfizer vaccine has to be used within a couple of hours after coming out of deep freeze. The NHS are investigating claims that In some hospitals and vaccine centres, any doses 'left over' at the end of the day are being given to family and friends of staff. A questionable practice, but Is that preferable to dumping the vaccines?

Better to be use than wasted .

So people are walking around believing they have had the vaccine when in fact all they got was a needle in the arm? Surely they wouldn’t let that happen? (Please note the sarcasm)

I read that the Pfeizer one has to be used within 6 hours of opening /thawing out but you have a point. Silly to waste any left over so use on anyone who is around !. My call was ,i think, due to being Diabetic. My wife wasn`t called but as she came with me i asked the Injectist(?) if wife could have one at same time as me ,considering she is in the same age bracket. He rushed off ,came back with a positive response as they had spare capacity. Had to wait while wife went through the processing and data stuff then she had hers .he said she`d have been going back for it within a week anyway ,so it made sense !.

You are noted for your sarcasm anyway but ,to allay peoples fears, if all i had was a needle filled with water then it sure made my arm ache for a day after and also we both felt tired for a few days after too.

The Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines being given to millions of people in the UK by the NHS are extremely safe, with some mild expected side-effects, says the country's drugs regulator.

...And... the Pfizer drug is said to be 85% effective after just one dose.
I am a happy man.
