Despite some reports of mild fevers and sore arms as expected, no one has needed medical attention for a reaction to the Pfizer-BioNTech or the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine Practices at the less advantaged end of the city need it more, but the algorithm for determining where the supply goes doesn’t seem to consider deprivation 1 In England’s poorest areas average life expectancy is well below 80,2 so supplies based on age alone are limited precisely where the risk of covid death is highest 3 Recently our supply has dwindled to a trickle, and it takes only a single afternoon to use the 300-400 doses delivered each week—a far cry from the 12 hours a day, seven days a week we signed up to in December There are fewer than we anticipated, as being housebound isn’t a fixed concept: some patients who require huge efforts and the help of several relatives to leave the house were nevertheless transported to the surgery when we first started vaccinating in December
