I've decided not to go ahead with my 2nd dose of the AZ vaccine. I'm happy having the Pfizer - will this be allowed?

I've just lost all confidence in the AZ vaccine and regret having it at all.
I know the risks are tiny etc etc but I want a vaccine without these associated risks.
I'm 56 so in one of the top groups but just feel so uneasy about it all now.

The OP has gone very quiet. Perhaps standing back after having lit the blue touch paper?

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine is also beign looked at now by EMA
...
That sounds nice and gentle, I would expect it to be kind to skin as well.

I wonder if it comes in a pale pink vial jess?

More news against mixing vaccines as of now

he WHO reiterated Friday there was "no adequate data" on switching COVID-19 vaccines between doses, after France said under-55s who received an AstraZeneca first jab should get their second from a different vaccine.

The World Health Organization has called for studies on so-called mixing and matching between vaccines, but said there was no comprehensive data so far on which it could make any recommendations.

"There is not adequate data to be able to say whether this is something that could be done," she said.

"So they were recommending that at this stage, interchangeability of vaccines was not something that we could give a recommendation on.

Delivered by a gruff voiced baby in a nappy no less. Will hands be as soft as faces?

I'm going to be jealous of people who have the Johnson vaccine.

if AZ gets turned down by lots of people does that mean longer time for vaccination to control the epidemic, and more chances for the "scary" variants to arise?

As someone who would have "Let it Rip", I don't know what to make of this situation. I only got jab to satisfy the freedom-passport expectation, and now my jab might be useless and not a freedom passport at all, due to the Neurotics refusing the AZ jab causing variants to arise.. The same Neurotic ppl who spent last year panicking about covid (when most of us are low risk for harm from covid) & wishing they lived in New Zealand.

I definitely shouldn't have bothered getting a jab, right?
