EU taking Astrazeneca to court over contract fulfilment

[bots]

what the eu don't seem to have grasped is that the more threats and legal action they throw at AZ, the more they will delay their vaccine delivery. They don't seem to have a clue

That sounds a bit ‘specific’ ... don’t they usually say over 40’s or something ?

Yes very specific, I reckon it’s the data to ensure all required second doses go ahead first

the age ranges will correspond to a population that can be given their first jab while still being able to give people their second injection. It's just a method of flow control

single dose of a coronavirus vaccine can reduce household transmission of the virus by up to half, a study shows.
Those given a first dose of either the Pfizer or AstraZeneca vaccines - and who became infected three weeks later - were between 38% and 49% less likely to pass the virus on than unvaccinated people, PHE found.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock described the study's results as "terrific news".
He has urged "everybody to get their vaccines as soon as they are eligible".
In the study, protection against Covid was seen from about 14 days after vaccination, with similar levels of protection regardless of age of cases or contacts, PHE said in a statement.
It added that this protection was on top of the reduced risk of a vaccinated person developing symptomatic infection in the first place, which is around 60 to 65% - four weeks after one dose of either vaccine.
When will I get the vaccine?
How many people have been vaccinated so far?
Covid vaccine offered to 42-year-olds in England
Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, said: "Vaccines are vital in helping us return to a normal way of life. Not only do vaccines reduce the severity of illness and prevent hundreds of deaths every day, we now see they also have an additional impact on reducing the chance of passing Covid-19 on to others."
But, while she said the findings were "encouraging", she said it was important people continue to act like they have the virus, "practise good hand hygiene and follow social distancing guidance".
Households are high-risk settings for transmission, meaning the study provides early evidence on the impact of vaccines in preventing onward transmission, PHE said.
Similar results could be expected in other settings with similar transmission risks, such as shared accommodation and prisons, it added.

Are you talking about the NHS app itself rather than the NHS Covid19 one ?

The app they created for covid contact tracing, what other app is there

https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-...firms-12289071

oh it looks like a different app

"It will be the NHS app that is used for people when they book appointments with the NHS and so on, to be able to show you've had a vaccine or that you've had testing," he added
