Thank you

What is the concern? Are you afraid that you may get a clot? I know it is a bit concerning and that people have different outlooks, but it is very, very, very highly unlikely that you will have anything other than a few chills, a headache and/or a sore arm. Life is about risks - we take them when we wake up, walk down the stairs, eat a chokeable-sized piece of food, etc. etc.

In general the vaccine sites try to match 2nd with 1st vaccines - so if they don't have 'your' vaccine for the second shot they will call you back. Under 40s are generally not being offered AZ at the moment - and if you are under 40 you could refuse this if offered and wait for another. However, the incidence of blood clotting, if actually related, is very low - your chances of blood clots from Covid-19 - should you catch it and need to be hospitalised - are higher than the vaccine danger.
