More Information
- Both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are safe.
- Both vaccines are effective.
- Vaccination is the essential step in halting the spread of COVID19 and the disease, death and social isolation it causes.
- We endorse the delayed administration of the second vaccine as being the best way to deliver a high level of immunisation to COVID19 to more of the most vulnerable, soonest.
- All those vaccinated will receive a second dose to complete the course.
- We will, in so far as it is possible, ensure that the second dose matches the vaccine administered in the first dose. Whilst both vaccines are different, they are based on the same COVID19 spike protein to prime the immune system
