The Duchess of Cornwall today revealed she was given the AstraZeneca jab but said 'it didn't matter' to her as she proclaimed: 'You take what you are given.' The duchess spoke to Dr John McGrath, a GP, who was administering the AstraZeneca vaccine at the pop-up centre at Finsbury Park Mosque. Asked if Mr Johnson would be willing to have the AstraZeneca jab, the spokesman said: 'Yes, he would be perfectly happy to take the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.' The AstraZeneca jab was already an unloved choice in Europe after top officials lashed out at the firm in a post-Brexit row over supplies and raised unfounded doubts about its effectiveness. Mr Magrini, the Italian medicines regulator said the AstraZeneca vaccine was safe and that the benefit to risk ratio of the jab is 'widely positive'.
