Yes, very local to us.
My middle sister was born in the town it is situated in.
Billingham is the town, part of the Stockton-On-Tees area.

Was on our local news when the government originally ordered the 60 million doses.

you will note that the pfizer vaccine manufactured in europe is not able to honour it's commitments on delivery to europe, and yet the EU have said diddly squat about it

Johnson & Johnson one-dose Covid vaccine shown to work...



A fifth vaccine, made by the US company Johnson & Johnson, has shown efficacy against the coronavirus and could transform prospects for protecting both the UK and the rest of the world, because it needs only a single dose.

The vaccine, made by the US giant’s subsidiary Janssen, based in the Netherlands, was trialled in the UK – and the British government has bought 30m doses. The EU has ordered 400m doses.

The company said it had 72% efficacy in preventing Covid in the US but a lower rate of 66% was observed globally in the large trial conducted across three continents and against multiple variants.

The results of the trials have been much anticipated, because the Janssen vaccine can be given as a single injection. That means stocks will go further, and particularly in lower-income countries an immunisation programme will be easier as there is no need for a recall after three or 12 weeks.

Results recently published from early trials showed the vaccine triggered a good immune response. Just one shot induced neutralising antibody titers in 96% and T-cell responses in at least 80% of vaccinated volunteers. Some trials are investigating whether a second booster dose confers a useful benefit.

Sounds promising especially as I heard they can apparently make billions of doses in a calendar year..

I’m not sure I’d fancy the 66% protection rate though ... doesn’t that equate to a 1 in 3 chance of failing ??

This could be good for people less at risk.

No you cannot, you have to have the booster of the same jab you had initially

and i heard it differently last night that Pfizer, Moderna are more or less the same and that it doesn't matter if you got second jab with moderna if you got first jab with pfizer, in case that is necessary if you run out of one or the other

but UK's vaccination numbers i'll happily applaud for
