My wife has a medical history that might be an issue around clotting. Neither her/our GP or a school friend who is now a consultant hematologist were able to say anything definitive either way. GP wasn't able or willing to arrange a non-AZ jab. She used the book both slots at the same time and make sure the choice of second venues is much smaller thing and went for the Business Design Centre and got Moderna so is happy.

"if you have certain rare blood clotting yada... discuss with specialist"
A doctor friend of mine said
"Pfizer might also be the best immunization option for you and Oxford-AZ the worst. Moderna might be as good as Pfizer but it seems like we have the most data on Pfizer. Please discuss your immunization options with your hematologist. This is very important because maybe they can do a special set-up for you to get Pfizer including the second dose 3 weeks after the first. In the US Moderna second jab is 28 days after the first."
But I can imagine GPs and NHS just going "you get this or nothing"

Anyone with pre-existing blood clotting issues been told to go for one or the other vaccine?
NHS just says something like "you should probably chat to your doc about it" which is obvious but wondering if anyone has been told anything either way.
