In the Netherlands they halted AZ shots for everyone except 60-64 by the GP. That's my group and the AZ shot was promised from February 1st. No date yet. Given all the bad news about AZ I would much prefer one of the others. Absolutely no way to get any (other) brand unless endorsed by the bureaucrats. Unused (prepared) shots are dumped in the bin because rules are rules. I heard you can get one in Bulgaria. Feels like living behind the iron curtain or inside a Monty Python sketch... I wonder what happens if I refuse the AZ shot. Probably nothing and the only option left is hoping I'll survive the real infection.
