Do hospital hubs only offer the Pfizer vaccine?

Hi, asking for my dad who has got his appointment on Monday! He’s been invited to a local vaccination centre. I’ve seen it in pictures and it looks like a small unit that’s been set up specifically for covid vaccinations.
Do you think he will most likely get the Oxford AZ vaccine or do they have facilities to store the Pfizer in these little vaccination units?
Am I wrong in assuming that the Pfizer vaccine is only given at hospital vaccine hubs?

He could get either, but you are right that it will tend to be larger centres have the Pfizer because of the batch sizes and cold storage requirements. A very small site won’t be able to administer enough in a day, resulting in wastage.

Could get either, had my Pfizer at a local GP surgery.

I agree, could be either. I went to a huge vaccination hub and I had the Oxford AZ.

No I had Pfizer yesterday at a medical centre in a small market town - my partner got Oxford there a few weeks before.
You could be given either regardless of where you have it.
