My Wife and I are non GESY so did walk in last Friday and we had Pfizer, actually we weren’t given a choice
I was told they got the instruction not to give walk ins the Pfizer today,

A friend had Pfizer at walk in at Paphos General earlier today, just after midday, in and out in 20 mins and based on the photo of the waiting area I was sent, very quiet. Had the choice of joining a queue for either Pfizer or Moderna so perhaps this was before you arrived?

I went in at ten past four , about six walk ins after me, as we were waiting ,, the admin lady walked out of her office and said,,,,, she had just been informed by the ministry, that no more Pfizer's would be given to walk ins, only to people with appointments from now on, I told her I did have an appointment for tomorrow, she said it is not possible, only if I come on my appointment, will I get the Pfizer, if I want a jab today it would be the other one.

Just an update, went for my jab this morning, about 200 people waiting in a mass outside the entrance, a Burly security guard walks out at 8am, and in a voice which, Mike Tyson would sit up and take notice of said, make two lines, one for walk ins, and one for those that have appointments, the crowd did this with social distancing from six inches to one foot, she then went on to say, ''As from yesterday, no walk ins will be offered the Pfizer jab only the moderna , no one left, so Im guessing people are not to worried what jab they got, anyway once, inside very organized, in and out in ten minutes,

We just popped in for my wife's Booster, in and out in ten minutes. She wasn't told to wait after the jab we went at twenty to four. As I said this morning was crowded so best going in the afternoon.

We were the same, went in at 4.20, only a few people infront of us and out in 10 mins. Despite there being only a few people there it was still the usual chaos!
