Oxford/AstraZeneca Vaccine
– Nick Hewer
So I had a shot in the arm (Oxford AZ style) on Friday at the Lords Cricket Ground. Amazing efficiency. I was in and out in about 7 minutes (honestly). No waiting. So impressed with the NGS and the Belgravia Surgery. Thanks a million. Now for the 12 week wait for 2nd jab.

Andrew Lloyd Webber said he felt 'right as rain' after taking part in trials for the Oxford coronavirus vaccine.
The composer behind shows Cats, Evita and The Phantom of the Opera, revealed he had been given the real jab – not the placebo.

“I had no effects from the trial whatsoever; I felt right as rain.”
