This down to the UK telling the EU
they will get 80Million doses from UK AstraZeneca
by March 2021.

Now they have been told
they will get 30 million.

Its down to Johnson PM
wanting more UK stock
we are up to Over 6 Million vaccinated.



The EU Legally Ordered
AstraZenneca From Oxford
for many of its nations.

[But "some" EU nations have yet to approve it]

fair enough

then we have to up the production of Pfizer instead, or speed up the Janssen's progress to compensate

Imperial pause trials on their vaccine to concentrate on tackling the variants

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/med...ts/ar-BB1d6LFa

cientists at Imperial College London have announced they will not be proceeding with large-scale testing of their Covid-19 vaccine because of the rapid approval of other jabs within the UK.

Professor Robin Shattock said his team would instead be using the RNA technology behind the vaccine to target new and emerging coronavirus variants that have been identified around the world.

“Although our first generation Covid-19 vaccine candidate is showing promise in early clinical development, the broader situation has changed with the rapid rollout of approved vaccines,” Prof Shattock said in a statement on Tuesday.

“It is not the right time to start a new efficacy trial for a further vaccine in the UK, with the emphasis rightly placed on mass vaccination in response to the rapid spread of the new variant.”

He said his team would begin working to develop the vaccine technology as “a safety net to catch escape mutations, reach variants that other vaccines may not, and meet potential needs for annual booster vaccinations”.

Similar in design to the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines, the Imperial College jab makes use of self-amplifying RNA to deliver genetic instructions to human muscle cells, which then go on to produce the spike protein found on the surface of Sars-CoV-2.

makes sense? there are many vaccines on the go now so they lost the race with that one

It really doesn't, it sounds sensible . They're basically saying that they think there's enough vaccine "on the market" already so there's no point them adding another version to the pile that will more or less be just the same vaccine, so rather than wasting time on it they're moving on to other areas of study with the virus/vaccines.
