You could have had AstraZeneca like I did -
it's not a new fangled mRNA vaccine - with zero long term testing -
it's 40 years old - tried and true technology.
The Australian Govt AND my doctors beg to differ :

There is a link between the AstraZeneca vaccine and a rare but serious side effect – thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (TTS).
TTS can cause long-term disability and death.
TTS involves blood clotting (thrombosis) combined with low platelets (thrombocytopenia). Blood clots can appear in different parts of the body such as the brain or abdomen (belly). TTS is thought to be immune-mediated.
The risk of TTS appears to be higher in younger people. The severity of TTS appears to be higher in younger women. This is why an alternative to AstraZeneca is preferred for people under 60 years of age.
The other COVID-19 vaccines are not associated with TTS.
People aged under 60 years can still receive the AstraZeneca vaccine if the benefits outweigh the risks and they provide informed consent.
Symptoms of TTS
Symptoms typically occur between 4 and 42 days after a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Symptoms of TTS include:
severe, persistent headache which does not improve with regular painkillers
blurred vision
confusion or seizure
weakness of face or limbs
shortness of breath or chest pain
severe abdominal (belly) pain
leg swelling
unexplained pin-prick rash or bruising away from the injection site.
Patients should seek urgent medical attention if they experience any symptoms of TTS.
