Anyone who has had the vaccine. Which is the best one of the two. Pfizer or the AstraZeneca. Having mine on Tuesday just curious. Just happy to have either. Thank you

At the moment, there is no Best. It might be different in a couple of years time as scientists develop them to fight new variants and as they reduce side effects, but for now, any vaccination is a good vaccination.

They SAY oxford has the greatest number of 'reactions'
= anything that is reported
and so some euro countries arent using it ; BUT if you dont have some thing ( like covid vaccine that is! ) then the natural thing is to decrease demand for the commodity by saying it is crap anyway
as my bruvva said - after 14 m tries it is amazing it hasnt killed anyone

My mum has finally got her appointment today at the pharmacy. She's also been given her 2nd appointment on 2nd May. She won't find out which one she's getting till she gets it. I reckon it's the Oxford one. My dad and nan both had the Pfizer at the beginning of Jan and have yet to hear about their 2nd jabs.
tigger I think it depends on whether you get your vac through the nhs scheme (mega hubs, pharmacies and so on) or through the GP surgery scheme. NHS national scheme seem to be making both appointments at once, GP scheme seem to be making one at a time. No idea why. Note the GP surgery scheme doesn't alway mean you go to your GP, they are also banding together and using local community centres and so on.
anne, no, I have been an unofficial carer for the last three years, and my OH is vulnerable, so apart from the occasional supermarket visit to get stuff they don't sell online, I just stay home watching Talking Pictures TV and doing family history. I went for long walks in spring and summer but don't feel like it in this weather. I imagine if I was 40 I'd be going spare, but I have the serenity of old age.
In theory, after a first jab you ought to be able to venture out with some confidence (assuming Boris allows it), but the stats about AZ for oldies still seem rather vague. Our granddaughter has dropped by a couple of times but kept her distance. (She's seven weeks and doesn't have much to say anyway.)

As said before, due to horrible side-effects to Pfizer suffered by OH (all-body, itchy rash since Dec.24th, old areas easing with treatments which I have to give, new areas erupting) I tell everyone I know not to have the Pfizer. Myself, I had the Astra-Zeneca on Friday, slightly sore arm but incredibly tired by 10 p.m. and slept for a lot of Saturday. This is a perfectly acceptable side effect and I shopped early so I could take it very easy over the weekend.
Have to add that OH's reaction is unusual - it is all being photographed and recorded and a rash should appear as a possible side-effect in the next generation of leaflets. Anyway, I would recommend the A-Z. :)
