North Yorkshire, UK: Vaccination site reported that 50% of patients booked in for AstraZeneca vaccine on Wednesday 17th March 2021 failed to turn up
“Lots of patients are very cautious,” one doctor in north London told The Independent. “We’ve had quite a few not turning up for their appointments or having lots of questions and concerns about it.”
Another GP in Harrow said anxiety surrounding the AstraZeneca vaccine has become a “real problem”.
“We have definitely seen this – big time,” they said. “We had 20 per cent either no-show or decline yesterday as they didn’t want AstraZeneca. And loads of phone calls for people only wanting Pfizer’s and declining AstraZeneca.”
