Pharmadoctor may well not be the only such service that pharmacies can use, but seemingly they're the only one who's been publicising the process. Novavax is a non-mRNA protein vaccine which has some evidence suggesting that it's more effective at promoting an immune response, is more resistant to different strains, and has fewer side effects. Crucially, it's also significantly cheaper per dose, possibly as low as £45.
Unfortunately, there is a drawback which means that pharmacies may be hesitant to offer it. Wheras the Pfizer vaccine comes in single dose vials, Novavax only comes in five dose vials, which ideally need to be used as soon as possible once opened. So some pharmacies may not want the risk of having unused doses, and may charge more for a booking to cover for it, or may only let you book at all if you have a group of five people who can use the whole vial in one go.
I thought it might be useful to start a discussion thread where people can share what they've heard from their local pharmacies, what policies they're adopting, and possibly even help people to find others in their local area who might be able to group together if that's what's required.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52611014","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Azwipe"},"datePublished":"2024-04-20T06:27:59.000Z","text":"I'd have a read of this before having any more boosters (this is a credible source so i expect the mods wont remove it) ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc…39/"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52609399","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rugrats"},"datePublished":"2024-04-19T19:02:08.000Z","text":"Well it seems that the admin at hotukdeals removed the youtube video of Dr Campbell:
