I personally would prefer the Oxford injection
Can you tell the dr you want that one simply because it's just one injection ?

I don't think we can pick and choose Saundra, you'll be offered whatever is currently being used when your time comes. Personally I would prefer the Oxford vaccine, but will take what's offered.

Same for us, and for D. We'd on balance prefer the Oxford one, but would take either.

At the moment there is no choice - you just have to get what you’re given.

Once the Oxford one is released we have been told there will still be no patient choice (unless there is a medical reason for someone to have a particular vaccine).

Once they have vaccinated the population and then the second round of vaccinations come in (because we know the vaccine isn’t a once a lifetime one) then you may have a choice.

I’m not sure what happens if your turn comes and you decline one vaccine because you are holding out for another.

Mrs S has an allergic reaction to Tetracycline which has destroyed 80% of her hearing as it causes cochleotoxic side effects.

Her family has mild to severe allergic reactions to antibiotics and, as such, are extremely unhappy about taking any vaccine with documented allergic reactions.

She'll take the Oxford Vaccine if it is offered, but not the Pfizer one.

Mind you I'm pretty sure she had it back in Feb, so I'm not sure where that puts her. We are both isolating at the moment as I lost my sense of taste the week before last and was ill last week including 1.5 days off work. Not sure where that puts me either.

I don’t think there is any proof yet that you can’t get it again.

No proof either way. Sadly. Which is being used to suggest that you can. Rather than an assumption that the human immune system works the same way with Covid19 as it did with MERS which is a Covid variant.

There are seven human coronavirus types and all cause either upper or lower respiratory tract infections including pneumonia, bronchitis and the common cold, and we can catch at least four of them more than once - and do.

SARS and MERS are 'thought' to offer years of immunity. With Covid - 19 we simply don't know, it's too early to tell, but there are reports of reinfection.
