Vaccine/ pregnancy/ carer for family member

3 replies

Hearing in news that pregnant women can now safely be vaccinated with Pfizer or Moderna. I am pregnant and I also care for a family member so would have registered for a carer's vaccine before before now but haven't due to pregnancy. If I register now for carer's vaccine, how can I ensure it's Pfizer/ Moderna I would get (given AstraZeneca not recommended for pregnant women) Anyone know how I can work this out to make sure I get a pregnancy safe vaccine as a carer?

The vaccinator will ask you some medical questions I would imagine.

They won't give you AZ if you're pregnant. They'll follow the guidelines carefully I'd think.

Thanks @forfucksakenett - I was under the impression though that vaccine centres just work with whatever they have in stock that day - so I could turn up to my appointment and they only have Oxford one.

Yeah I think they do for general punters but not for people in those specified categories (under 30, pregnant etc).
