Would be interesting to see what timeline is apportioned to that

According to people I know involved and contracted to administer in the Scotland roll out, IF it starts mid December then the initial 9 groups are planned to be done by the end of March give or take a couple of weeks.I read somewhere those 9 groups come to roughly 30 million people in the UK.
Those 18 - 50 years with no underlying conditions will then be done but probably without the contracted extra people just through regular health centres and clinics
Just my guess but wonder if the plan is to use the 40 mill Pfizer on the initial 9 groups and by then have the Oxford one ready for future vaccinations.

Well you won't get good take-up in the general population if you use up the good one on the first 9 groups. It's like the school dinner queue and you're at the back and the only thing left is tofu. Just wait for the next shipment of the good one to come through.
 
I posted this about the testing on here last night:

QUOTE: "Looks like most of the missing tests have come in now and we might be even lower tomorrow if so. As 16 K or so was quite possibly the true numbers for the UK for the past few days had all the tests been in."

And we had 16, 022 today. So happily this seems as if the above was right. Though it was nothing more than an informed quess.
 
This vaccine sounds the poodles privates. The only things that would make it better is if we knew if it stopped you getting it altogether (apparently it attacks the virus after you have it), stops you passing it on to someone else and how long the immunity lasts. I know, before you lambast me, that all these take time and it is far to early to know these things yet.
Really great news though and can’t wait to roll my sleeve up. Being 70+ it might be early doors for me.

Thats assuming the Oxford one is no good, which is a wrong assumption, on you part.

Yep. Girl at our workplace caught it from her boyfriend who got it (he thinks) from a colleague. He passed it on to her, his mum and dad, his brother and it then passed to brothers wife and two kids. Easily done.

But at least they'll all be together to open the 11 pairs of socks and 16 pairs of boxers they'll all get.

I'd have gone for the tofu over the shit I was served when I had school dinners
