I really can't see any other reason that makes any sense to have cancelled appointments for it.


As I understand it .. there’s a shortage of available vaccines so they want to give as many people as possible an initial dose to try and slow this virus down ... then worry about the second dose whenever possible .

Nah... I don't buy it we had 60m doses of Pfizer and 100m of Oxford, plenty to carry on with the inoculation of those already receiving Pfizer whilst rolling out the Oxford jabs simultaneously.

Really ??

Maybe we ORDERED all those ...


Pretty sure I heard that the only things slowing down the vaccine program is shortage of vaccines and shortage of staff available to administer them ..

Is that correct .. ..

I don’t suppose you get a choice when the call comes though ..

We have ORDERED hundreds of millions of doses. They haven't actually been manufactured or delivered.

Sobering thoughts from Thomas Moore Sky Science correspondent

So we know that the recent rise in infections is solely due to this new more virulent variant - it is 50% more transmittable .

The virus is staying one step ahead of the science .
It’s basically a race now between the ‘injections’ versus ‘infections’ ‘

90% of deaths are over 65 and we have 17 million people over 65 .

The dilemma is how quickly can we get an initial dose into 17 million people ... as the virus ain’t sitting around waiting ..

the pfizer manufacture/distribution is much slower than the oxford vaccine due to its complexities. They will speed up but at the moment it is a challenge.

If we get the vulnerable vaccinated by the autumn, i think that should be considered a good result.

you should also get a good nights sleep before getting the jab as your body is more likely to generate good quantities of anti bodies.

I think it was over-85's or maybe over-80's? By FAR the largest group for Covid deaths but only a small proportion of what's considered still "in a vulnerable group".

...I believe that he was referring to over 70s in age and all of the other medically vulnerables etc...but as per Boris, it’s quite an ambitious hoped for in time span...let’s see how it goes with any potential delays being allowed for as well...

didnt hear 6th Feb specifically, think he might have said mid Feb

The first 4 priority groups

Care homes, care staff
front line workers
over 80s
clinically vulnerable

...I’m confused, he did say over 70yrs would all be vaccinated by mid February as well...I felt sure that I’d heard that, unless I’m misunderstanding something....?...

...from 5:44 in his speech...




...actually, what I did miss is that he said those were the ‘realistic projections’ from the NHS ...

...yeah, we have learned that with Boris, it all tends to be...a rough, maybe, possible guideline of a potential that might occurrence...other than that he’s almost spot on once he’s u-turned etc...

The World Health Org.
Pfizer The 2 Vaccines must be done within 21 days.

Not the long UK 12 weeks

SkyNewsHD
said they stated that while the PM did his Conference, just now.
