Ah fair enough...had barely any discomfort first time round. Was hoping they would do a Moderna third dose as the Americans seem to be doing. But anyway...we'll see in January.
Nothing wrong with AZ, it takes a little longer for immunity to build but then it lasts longer too. I think it depends on where you go and what's availability for initial doses. Boosters all seem to be pfizer.
All the vaccines are good, at the moment most people are getting AZ as the booster, because that is what HMG have the largest contract with. Over time that might change.

Yes, I just get fed up with the casual repeated throwaway comments in The Times about us being in a worse situation than Europe because we mainly relied on AZ and it doesn't work as well. I'm only paraphrasing mildly there. I don't think there's any clinical evidence to support that view, and quite a lot against it, but it's just disheartening to see it thrown in regularly as if it's true and proven and a well-known fact.
It's been school half term here for 2 weeks and Vendée infection rates have rocketed from below 30 per 100,000 two weeks ago to 93 at the mo - loads of holidaymakers and second homers migrate here at the drop of a holiday hat . I have to go back to doing weekly checks of QR codes for Covid passes and we all have to wear masks again in meeting rooms, public spaces, pedestrian streets, markets.
Should settle down again in a week or two and then there'll be the Xmas blip.

I will just be delighted to get my booster jab, couldn't care less what they give me. I have been amazed at the number of "experts" saying they only wanted vaccine X, because it was so much better than vaccine Y, just rubbish.

I hesitate to query this because I know you're in the business, but that's not what it says on the booking website. Not that that has been ultra-reliable, I have to say, but it does say that most will get Pfizer or Moderna and will be offered AZ if unable to take the other two. I agree that all the vaccines are fine. I just get tired of this constant casual denigration of what has been a major achievement in the press.
