It's Your Round Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just tried it with Mrs IYR, just had to change the care worker drop down. It said there’s between 0 and 50378 people in the queue, and she can expect the vaccine between the 18th and 22nd December... Considering it’s the 18th today and her care home have heard nothing at all from the local authority, I would have to conclude that it’s a load of bollocks.

Davkaus Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I love the idea that they might vaccinate 11 million people in under 3 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted December 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2020 Sorry not read the thread but how about issuing the vaccine instead of the test! That's all you hear about mass testing! Well let's just fob that off and get those people doing the vaccine. Newcastle might even have been able to play us then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2020 It's all gone very quiet on the Oxford vaccine. Surely they were not that far behind the Pfizer in releasing their data. I sense all is not well. We've gone big on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was basing this on searching the news yesterday, but this morning there are reports of it being approved by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs M is three years younger and her supposed date is three months later (despite being immuno compromised). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on which vaccine they have IMO, If its just Pfizer, almost impossible. Oxford possibly not But what I'd like to know is where they are getting all the vaccine from. The initial batch was 800,000 doses or 400,000 people I'm sure I heard a proposterous figure of those already vaccinated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 From what I understand at least the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccine requires 2 dozes taken 3-4 weeks apart so that's double the job or half the people treated depending on how they count.

Well I was assuming the figure quoted was just the first dose, what happens when they reaslise they haven't got a second dose to give them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not up to scratch when it comes to details on the UK vaccine details (or the Swedish ones) but I've taken it as meaning they will have 1 dose per person who will then need another one?

What they didn't tell you is that they've identified over 100 different strains of the virus now. This strain of the virus they are talking about is a distraction deliberately "leaked" by Hancock to attempt to absolve the govt of not locking down London earlier (seem familiar?) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most reports I've seen suggest it's still near enough to the original to still be defeated by the vaccines because the signatures they replicate are still there. The vaccines are also meant to be easy and quick to "tweak" for new strains. They don't need completey redevelopment and re-submission for use.

markavfc40 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 My eldest daughter had her first vaccine jab yesterday and my wife is having hers next week. They are both nurses. Looking on that vaccine calculator I'll be about 9 months behind them although I think that is wishful thinking as can't see them getting anywhere near a million a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Do we think they'll be changing Xmas plans today based on this new strain? My wife is booked in for the Vaccine on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
