My parents (83 & 85) both had their first Pfizer jab on Thursday. Dad has a sore arm; mum has no side effects so far.
Just to stress that I’m talking about second dose side effects among working-age NHS Scotland critical care staff.

The Herald has led on a story this morning complaining that hospitals are now sticking very rigidly to the single-dose policy even where they have defrosted vials with leftover vaccine at the end of the day that must either be used immediately or thrown out. Some staff are asking why it’s getting thrown out.

You can read the front page print story, with a little squinting, here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-55687690

The actual reason is as I’ve given above, although you’re not going to get an on-the-record confirmation of that. (I could name you a hospital and a senior staff member, but I’m not going to).
