There are reports of over 80's not turning up for their appointments because they want the 'British' jab.
Should they now go to the back of the queue as their expected dose is liable to be wasted?

I found it strange as I thought you weren't told which jab they were sticking into your arm.

There are also reports that Johnson & Johnson are working on a once only jab. That would be very useful - and then you would HAVE to know which one you had.

Yes! I wonder if they question the origin of the 'flu jab?
Do they object to a 'foreign' doctor or surgeon treating them in hospital?

Do they realise AstraZeneca is involved in the 'British' vaccine - that's a Swedish firm.
I bet they don't know, the team worked with doctors at 19 trial sites around the UK and six each in Brazil and South Africa to get the trials done.

Reminds me of Internet vloggers saying they won't have the vaccine, because they don't know what's in it, whilst smiling through their botox inflated lips and regaling the world with their latest boob job and buttock extensions!

Fantastic! I wish this was more widely advertised!

The ‘British’ Oxford Zennica vaccine is mostly being made in two sites in England. It is then taken to an Indian owned factory in Wrexham for bottling.
