We're due to have our 6th jab around now. We have always had Pfizer and are happy to continue with this.

Can anyone tell us what the current situation is at the General, i.e. are there specific days for the various vaccines, and at what times do you attend the hospital?

Many thanks

They say it's a good idea to have a mixture of different vaccines, don't ask me why

Because not all spike proteins are created equal and presenting different antigens to the immune system broadens the immune response. However, I don't think this matters anymore, given that the currently available bivalent vaccines are different from the preceding, monovalent ones anyway, no matter whether they're from Moderna or Biontech.

I will be at the General Hospital in a couple of weeks time, so I will see if I can get a booster whilst I am there
