Still think it will be the summer though before we get to where we want to be, unless they plan to up the numbers big during February. We will need to match the numbers in March, April and May in dosage just to give second doses. You would think Zahawi would be singing from the rooftops.

Van wink 2,994 Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Bring it on“Batches of the newly approved coronavirus vaccine from Oxford University and AstraZeneca have started arriving at hospitals ahead of the jab's rollout on Monday. Some 530,000 doses of the vaccine will be available across the UK from Monday, with vulnerable groups already identified as the priority for immunisation. One of the first hospitals to take delivery of a batch on Saturday was the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath, part of Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust. Dr George Findlay, chief medical officer and deputy chief executive at the trust, said the vaccination programme gave NHS staff "more confidence" coming into work.” Edited January 2, 2021 by Van wink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,139 Posted January 3, 2021 More excellent news, India have not only approved Oxford they have also approved their own home made vaccine. I appreciate we knew this yesterday. Interestingly AstraZeneca 8 - 12 weeks apart ‘ due to likely improved efficacy ‘. The excellent news of course is India will be supplying 60% of the world. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-55520658 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,139 Posted January 3, 2021 More questions about the two doses this time in a letter by MP’s. I would tend to ignore the first points as I think this is as they say in their questions ‘ a none event ‘. The answers to the second part however will be very interesting. This is having an effect of undermining the vaccine. Have to say I always wanted Pfizer, but now I would much prefer AstraZeneca if we stick to Pfizer 8 - 12 weeks.

Each country has their own challenges to try get through this but ultimately until its been properly suppressed everywhere its still an issue. Indeed as this shows, positive news if you read all of it, worrying if you don’t read all of it. In another development, an academic has said there is a "big question mark" over whether a vaccine developed at Oxford University will be as effective against a new variant of the virus that has emerged in South Africa. Prof Sir John Bell, Regius professor of medicine at the university, said the team there were currently investigating this question "right now". He added it was "unlikely" the variant would "turn off the effect of vaccines entirely," and in any case it would be possible to tweak the vaccine in around 4-6 weeks. "Everybody should stay calm - it's going to be fine," he told Times Radio. "But we're now in a game of cat and mouse - because these are not the only two variants we're going to see".

Well b back 3,139 Posted January 4, 2021 Be very interesting to see the outcome of this Germany looking into delaying second vaccine dose - report Germany is seeking advice on whether to delay giving the second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to make supplies go further, in a similar move to the UK, according to a document seen by the Reuters news agency. The country's health ministry has asked an independent vaccination commission for its opinion on administering the second shot later than 42 days after the first. The UK will give both parts of both the Pfizer and the Oxford vaccines 12 weeks apart, having initially planned to leave 21 days between the Pfizer jabs.

I have not seen any model that suggests from where we are we can have the over 50’s + those considered vulnerable vaccinated prior to summer.
