  • I'm 34 and starting to get excited / hopeful it's imminent for me too.

    How is it working - are all you sub 40 lot getting an actual choice, or is this acceleration linked to perhaps pushing the AZ jab for over 30's on the back of the Indian variant shitshow?

  • AFAIK everyone under 40 gets a proper vaccine and everyone above gets the Austin Allegro (unless you're pregnant etc, in which case proper vaccine too). Most vaccine centres only do one type, so you can guess based on what venues you're offered.

    I don't think it's an acceleration per se, they're just working through the age groups.

  • Under 40s seem to get offered a different range of venues which are ones which aren't doing the AZ. From my experience, over 40s around Kings Cross get offered the Crick which is doing AZ but under 40s get Islington Business Design Centre which is doing moderna.

  • I had mine done at Charlton House on Sunday morning, everyone there seemed to be in the under 40s group and they were using Pfizer. My partner had her two jabs at the same place ages ago (underlying condition) and she had the AZ jab.
    Easier for them to just offer a vaccine that isn't mired in controversy and avoid people turning down AZ/requesting alternative, etc.

    I had no idea which one I was going to get until I turned up.
