Lyn,no,it was AZ, the ahem "effects" started 14 hours later with the first. Friends who had Pfizer had nothing at all.of course after all that time,I thought I had escaped!
Yes @Lyn the booster was the Pfizer ( the 2 previous were AZ ).
@Lizzie27 I'm not dismissing the concern about reactions but the reason I was given was simply that the wait inside was due to "insurance" requirements for their use of the portacabin. Sitting in a room with other people no more than a metre away and volunteers dashing back and forth did not strike me as particularly sensible. As I said, there were no checks at the Exit to ensure your 15 minutes had elapsed before leaving. I thought it far better to walk around outside/sit in the car rather than adding to those sitting in the cabin. Altho everyone was questioned closely on possible allergies before receiving the booster, I would imagine that it would be quite possible for reactions to take place at any time after the 15 minutes whilst someone was driving, crossing a road or WHY. Like @Lyn - at this stage in the game, it's time to start treating adults as adults. There's always going to be chances/possibilities/misunderstandings but that's life - pandemic or not.

I agree but they are frightened of being sued. Since crown immunity was revoked the NHS spends a fortune on out of court settlements for all kinds of things. Money that should be spent on front line treatments.
I'm with you @philippasmith2, I would have walked out early too in those conditions and to say it was due to insurance was nonsense. We were lucky to have such a large space well ventilated space to wait in.

I didn't like to actually say that but it did strike me as "off the premises ? " Byeee then . It would never occur to me to sue the NHS unless it was something which was so overtly bad practice which was well known and could have been easily avoided. Even that scenario, whilst making it known, would need to have caused long term illness or life changing injuries. No one, not even the best doctor/surgeon is infallible and life is always a gamble. It seems that we are being persuaded that something is always someone's fault and therefore someone ( as you say often the NHS ) has to take the blame and waste fast depleting resources.

Think carefully about what you do. { sorry that sounds preachy, not meant to be ]
