COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Apparently they have made the vaccine but forgot that there might be a large demand for little plasticky bottles to put the vaccine into. This is slowing production.

Boris is doubtless onto it and mobilising a Womble Army with himself being a dead ringer for Uncle Bulgaria.

Collect all the old bottley things you can find out there and we will have the vaccine to you in a jiffy....

Or a jiffy bag at least.

PS not all of the above is a joke. Bet you cannot work out which bit isn't.
It's stored in glass vials, to my knowledge there are >100m doses ready to go. How much is earmarked for the UK is anyone's guess but given the first approval is here it's likely a lot of it will.

I do know that the US had first dibs on supply but I doubt that will be held in the event of later approval from the FDA. Supply chain is such that stock should be available as required hence it taking ~3/4 weeks longer to authorise and my previous comments pointing to manufacture-related issues, not regulatory ones.

Hope everyone has had the best Christmas possible
 
They were saying there was millions of this ready to go, now it’s 530,000. That’s probably about 2 weeks worth of vaccinations with the pace they are at now. Slightly concerning considering it’s the vaccine the majority of the U.K. population will probably end up getting.
500,000 ready to go in the UK.
A further 4,000,000 when they take delivery of the glass phials to put 6 doses of vaccine in.

I fear my wife and her colleagues are being thrown to the wolves when schools go back in Liverpool region!
Rather surprised that there hasn’t been more interrogation of the authorities in regards to the spread of the virus in schools, particularly in respect to the new strain. Hear the same lines trotted out about schools being fundamentally safe, yet nobody asks about recent figures to support that assertion. Many teachers are parents themselves, so I’d imagine the virus will thrive in the inevitable contact between parties.

I see Israel is set to begin vaccinating teachers next.
