The only waiting area was the car park where we queued to go in, only one person in the pharmacy at a time, no seats - not even to have the jab! Perhaps you don’t need to wait with the Oxford AZ jab? It didn’t bother me, I’m pleased to have been given the vaccination.

Now starting to feel light headed north side if it’s paranoia No pain in my arm but husband said his arm is a bit achy. I did laugh at the leaflet we got when we left that said read before you have your vaccine

Rosehip Mar 2021 10:37am, 21 Mar 2021 20,294 posts	0 Rosehip I was asked to go sit in my car for 15 mins, with the window open, and to call a car park marshall if I felt ill - that was the AZ one.
GimmeMedals Mar 2021 10:47am, 21 Mar 2021 20,401 posts	0 GimmeMedals I had mine on Friday. I was told not to drive for 5 minutes but I was walking so that wasn't an issue. I am mostly recovered - the chills kicked in after 12 hours and lasted for about 18 hours. A bit of a headache but paracetamol got rid of it. I was lethargic yesterday but that could have been because of disturbed sleep. My arm is still hot, bruised and aches, but I felt the jab and no-one else I know did.

Shades Mar 2021 10:54am, 21 Mar 2021 423 posts	0 Shades I had AZ at a vaccination centre. Those that had travelled/driven there alone were asked to sit for 15 minutes post jab, which I did. I felt fine though. Mild systems post jab didn't kick in until the next day.
