it's being distributed to hospitals who do have the fridges, also health care workers are getting it first so it makes sense at this point. The first vaccinations will happen next week!

yes although in better news it is then viable in a normal fridge for up to 5 days so this gives some leeway

Honestly I could cry hearing this news.

As someone with a lot of “elderly” family, this is just fantastic.

It's not the long ago that the Press were reporting that Matty Hanny was the only one who thought a vaccine was possible

some of them should be prosecuted for their reportage of the pandemic

I believe they are sorting out testing for relatives as well so they can visit elderly relatives in the meantime, the fast lateral flow ones?

God I hope so. It’s been a long, long year and to be able to just visit some relatives before the year is out would mean the world.

The Labour Leader
claims the Vaccine will not be able
to get to the Care homes.
Because of the Cold Temperature it needs. (From PMQ's)

[A lorry leaves Pfizer's manufacturing plant in Puurs, Belgium,
this morning after the American firm's Covid-19 vaccine
was approved in the UK.
It's not clear if the lorry pictured was transporting the jabs]

A strapping 35 year old buck is going to be last on the list eh . Oh well. Maybe I'll get mine in time for the ML2022 win? It's going to be a total wash-out if I die of Covid before then.

Can I get it awarded posthumously if the worst happens?
