My son knows a medical scientist who has been working with these vaccines and told him the AZ one was the best. My son can't wait to get his but not in the current roll out age group yet.
It will end up being an annual event just like the flu vaccine. Some side effects are to be expected we had similiar ones when we had the current flu vac 3 weeks before the AZ. My husband is a diabetic and has come through fine.
Funny my GP rang yesterday to offer me a place in her clinic ( just me not my husband as he isn't her patient) they were very surprised we'd already had it, didn't seem to know about these pop up clinics run by the Govt.
We have a gap of 12 weeks between vacs here so our next appointment isn't until July.
