Testing centre staff unlikely to be able to administer injections. Things definitely progressing with my recruitment/training though my injury may change that.

There was also a gazebo (lent from my running club!) set up to make extra space for people to sit. I also wonder if they might abandon or at least shorten the 15 min thing once more have had with with (hopefully) minimal issues. We used to be asked to wait for 5(?) mins after flu jabs in Boots but the the surgery pushed us straight out the door this year. Though that could also be a Boots vs surgery difference.
