As I've just learnt a person needs two injections over two weeks, so double the problems I listed. The flu vaccine is produced in single injection potions which will not be possible for the new vaccine because it's way easier to produce it in bigger pots and it's not known yet how complicated the chilling will be, e.g. a lot of vaccines need -70° chilling, a normal fridge could probably not be enough. I would share your optimism but if I remember how complicated it was to produce and spread a plain product like masks last spring I just can't be so optimistic with the vaccinate process. But hey, let's hope I'm just wrong with my thoughts.

How is that realistic? You need to transport, store (with chilling), spread it to hospitals, doctors, vaccinate centres. Then you need the staff, e.g. doctors are needed anyways you just can't let them vaccinate nonstop. And then you need to create a list of who gets it first and when at which place. Let's see what pundits say about the possibility to vaccinate, I can't think of millions per week yet.
They have been training NHS staff to give vaccinations for weeks, and the Army has drawn up distribution plans.
Drawing up a list of people who get it first is child's play, the government already has it from when they sent letters to every vulnerable person who was advised to stay at home for 12 weeks.

It will take time to get the infrastructure in place to administer this vaccine.The country went from a standing start on testing back in March to having a much larger testing capacity in November. It won’t be an end to social distancing in the coming months, if the vaccine can be administered to the most vulnerable it can stop the NHS collapsing with hospital admissions which is priority one. Then roll this out to the wider population who need it over the course of 2021.

The infrastucture is more or less there. About 25 mill flu vaccines have been done in 1 -2 months. Using trained volunteers, in village and community halls, they have been asked to stay on standby for the covid one. I'd say 30 -40 million vacines with the added help of the military in 3 months from a standing start is very acheivable.It will take time to get the infrastructure in place to administer this vaccine.The country went from a standing start on testing back in March to having a much larger testing capacity in November.

Was going to say, not seen much positive news in here the last few pages!Wrong thread
Wondering how they managed to make vaccine in such a short time. I was reading yesterday on quora an article from a epidemiologist and she was saying that to make a safe vaccine on virus they know, takes around 7-8 years (they still don't 100% know what corona virus is and how it works) That's including making sure no side effects down your life in new born baby cases. My son is weeks and I'm really concerned about it. Found a vaccine in what a few months, cancer should be a piss of piece now then.
No offence but I would not be getting medical advice from anonymous Quora users (or from me, which I suppose makes the rest of this comment redundant). We 100% do know what coronavirus is and how it works. Coronaviruses are not new, they've been studied for 100 years. Yes, this is a new one, but it's a small variation, 99.9% the same as older ones we've studied for decades.
Also it surely should not surprise anyone that when a virus takes over the entire world and brings it to a halt, the amount of funding and manpower devoted to researching a vaccine and doing all the necessary testing is increased 10,000x over a normal vaccine.
No one is going to force you to vaccinate your son if you're a sceptic.
Lastly we have vaccines for cancer! At least 4 that I know of. If a virus causes cancer, we've got a vaccine for it or in development for it.

Ironically this is the most amount of negative comments about the vaccine that I've read anywhere on the net!Was going to say, not seen much positive news in here the last few pages!
