In Brazil we had a few tens of millions of people vaccinated with the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine, no 15 minute wait required. I haven't heard of any anaphylaxis case, which is anecdotal of course but I believe anti-vaxxers would have made a big deal out of it. So all-in-all killing this 15 minute wait might not be very effective to quicken vaccination, but it should not be harmful at all either, so no biggie really.

No biggie unless you're the one adversely affected.

Hey guh, I’m from Brazil too. I took both Pfizer shots already and I had to wait 15 minutes only after getting the second dose. I really appreciate the hard work of our health professionals, but I think most people didn’t wait after the jab because we are not following the vaccination protocol as we should.

  We don’t want the jab because of general distrust- which is, if not reasonable, at least understandable.

    They said wait, not want.

It definitely will speed things along from personal experience, if only because the waiting area afterwards seemed to be the bottleneck slowing things down. Anecdotal I know, but it really was a case of waiting around for people to leave before they could continue.

> I haven't heard of any anaphylaxis case, which is anecdotal of course but I believe anti-vaxxers would have made a big deal out of it. People just don't talk about them. They happen, with a much lower (by orders of magnitude) rate than the ones caused by the disease, and AFAIK not distinguishable from the random average without a vaccine (what is very surprising, so I probably have bad data). Anti-vaxxers do make a big deal about them. But people are very good on ignoring the fact that everybody has a small chance of just dropping dead at any time by random, so most people just don't listen.
