This may be of interest, or not. My experience as a driver.
I had my first dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine yesterday at the
Epsom Racecourse centre.
Appointment time: 12.35.
Arrived at 12.10. Handed a number (310, in my case) shown where to
park and asked to wait in the car until called into the centre. Called
into the centre after approx 45 minutes. Then more waiting. Arrived
at the vaccination booth at 13.50.
Questions and answers. Phone number, email address. Emergency
contact number. 10 minutes max.
Swab arm, inject vaccine and apply plaster. 30 seconds max.
Waited 15 minutes or so after the injection in case of side effects
before being allowed to leave at 14.25.
Plenty of time spent hanging about but very happy to have had it.
2nd dose scheduled for March 31st.
