"Covid Vaccination Centre ventilation."

About: Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

(as a service user),

Been to two centres for my vaccinations. Twice to the first one, which was cool and had a breeze passing through it because all the external doors were wide open all day. Visited the second a few weeks ago for my booster. I went at  1839hrs, it was warm inside with no noticable movement of air. Each of us inside a small holding area , about thirty people , were masked and in a winding snake queue for about 30 to 45 minutes.

About a week later ,after days of becoming very  ill and breathless, I was rushed to hospital with Community Acquired Pneumonia. I have been discharged after 5 days of treatment and two courses of antibiotics.

I have not complained to the second center , just informed them of the above.

I'm not compaining, have  no wish for heads to roll or try to blame that centre for my illness .. but please - may I say, in my humble opinion , it might be worth you observing how warm the centre is you are going to to be vaccinated - and that there is a good cool breeze / movement of air right through it.

Best of health to you all.
