Is anyone being offered Pfizer as a booster?

Locally we only have Moderna being offered. I wondered if it was pot luck, a Nationwide decision and if it’s possible to have a booster done privately to be able to pick?

GrowThroughWhatYouGoThrough · 11/12/2021 15:20

Pfizer even!

DelurkingAJ · 11/12/2021 15:20

I had Pfizer after the first two were AZ. Someone said they just used what they were given.

UserOfManyNames · 11/12/2021 15:20

I had Pfizer. DH got Moderna (a few days later).

TooWicked · 11/12/2021 15:21

Only Pfeizer in my area, no option to have Moderna.

FruitToast · 11/12/2021 15:21

I had Pfizer through work at a hospital, my DH had Moderna at a pharmacy drop in clinic. It's just what supply they are allocated at the time!

Peaseblossum22 · 11/12/2021 15:21

My whole family have had Pfizer as a booster except me, I had Moderna. I did read somewhere that Moderna isn’t approved in this country for under 18s and so they are reserving as much Pfizer as possible for teenagers and giving Moderna to the rest of us now.

poppym12 · 11/12/2021 15:22

All 3 of mine have been Pfizer. Husband had his this morning, also Pfizer (his first 2 were AZ). South West.

teenagetantrums · 11/12/2021 15:23

I had pizer in South west. Got it done at work, care home. All mine have been pizer
My DP had pizer booster yesterday at Tesco.

Panicmode1 · 11/12/2021 15:24

I had Pfizer...I was the first appt after lunch and the morning appts had been given Moderna. I'm quite pleased because everyone I know who had Moderna has felt dreadful afterwards.

Shellingbynight · 11/12/2021 15:31

Me and OH went to the same vaccination centre on the same day, I had Moderna and OH had Pfizer.

Cookerhood · 11/12/2021 15:32

There was a lot more Pfizer than Moderna ordered originally so you are far more likely to get Pfizer. Where I vaccinate we've only ever had Pfizer (& AZ originally).

kirinm · 11/12/2021 15:33

Yep Pfizer in London. I had 2 x AZ previously.

MissyB1 · 11/12/2021 15:34

Literally just had Pfizer, I’m doing the 15 minutes before I can leave. I’m in Gloucestershire.

gogohm · 11/12/2021 15:34

Only moderna here in the drs surgery booster clinics but it's pot luck if you go to the bigger centre as they are doing under 18's as well

Singinghollybob · 11/12/2021 15:34

I've had Pfizer for all 3, North West

FreeBritnee · 11/12/2021 15:35

Anyone managed to find a Pfizer in Cambs/beds or bucks?

HereComesSpringAgain · 11/12/2021 15:37

yes, beds. had my pfizer at local chemist

Scarby9 · 11/12/2021 15:37

I'm sitting in the 15 minute waiting area after my Moderna booster. No choice, and everyone else I know who has bern boosted here over the last few weeks has had Moderna. But everyone else I know elsewhere has had Pfizer.

I assume potluck.

cupofdecaf · 11/12/2021 15:44

I'm curious OP why does it matter to you?
