Fourth boosters - just a precaution...
We had our boosters yesterday. We were encouraged to accept Moderna - but I chose to continue with Pfizer. It is just as well I did, as in my husband's Moderna information leaflet it stated that it contained macrogol, which I am allergic to.
The on line proformas you are asked to fill in ask about any allergic reactions to your last Covid 19 vacvinations, but don't ask about other allergies.
Also, although the leaflet says read before having the vaccination, everyone was given it after receiving the vaccination!
Needs to be organised differently - most people were waiting a bit - they could be given the information and directed to the section on contents of the medicine. Or people could be given the on line link to the information leaflets when they receive confirmation of the booking.
If I had accepted the Moderna I could have ended up in A and E.
So if anyone knows they have allergies it would be a good idea to look up the leaflet on line beforehand or ask to read it before the procedure.
