Scotland vaccination update:
1, 048, 747 First doses of vaccination given - 23% of the adult Scottish population.
63, 178 yesterday - a new record - up from 57, 447 day before
99. 9 % of older care home residents now vaccinated
97% of all over 80s living in the outside community
87% of those 75 - 79 and 54% of those 70 - 74
She did add that there is going to be a reduction in vaccination numbers in coming weeks and this is logistical.
I am guessing vaccine supply is the main issue as we seem ahead of the planned curve because this has gone much better than I think anyone dared hope.
She was clearly preparing the ground for numbers slowing in coming weeks.
I expect this will not be a Scottish issue but a UK wide one. So hopefully we will not be told in England after the media notice and report it.
I think the Pfizer supply is going to go down due to manufacturing problems. Not sure about Astrazeneca.
My questions about vaccines would be when does Moderna become available? What is happening with the Novovax and J&J vaccines. Novovax has a UK production plant in Billingham and a fortnight ago they said that their vaccine worked against the SA variant. That news seems to have been buried. It's almost as if it didn't happen.
