Legit source too.

Waiting for the tin hat brigade to chime in if the news goes mainstream and dismiss it. Or whinge why they can't get vaccinated

How can they force the at risk and elderly to take this vaccine? Surely it needs to be made mandatory if you're above 70?

Most people I’ve spoke to that’ve had it say that it last 3-5 days. Started with symptoms Sunday so hopefully it’s on the way out.

Hopefully mate.
I got lucky really, just felt a bit achy and tired.
Nothing that would have kept me off work under normal circumstances.

who cares about barber shops, are you on a wind up?

If you had saw the kip of me head after 3 months of lockdown you wouldn't ask such questions.

Barbers ARE key workers - Boris wouldn't know that as he has a crows nest on his head

Exclusive A new DES is set to be announced imminently for practices and PCNs to start administering a Covid vaccine from the beginning of December, Pulse understands.
Practices and PCNs will be asked to prepare to give the vaccine to over 85s and front line workers from the start of December, numerous sources have confirmed to Pulse.
There are currently two vaccines that are being prepared, with one requiring two shots and needing to be kept at minus 70 degrees.


Alongside GPs and PCNs, there will be teams delivering it to care homes, and at-scale delivery centres.
Pulse understands there will be sufficient resources allocated to practices.
A number of sources have confirmed to Pulse that an announcement around the DES is imminent, potentially by next week.


It is expected that the vaccines will be delivered in a number of ways, with teams going to care homes and delivery centres, such as those reported by the Economist and the Sun.
Pulse reported last month that the NHS was looking to start the rollout of the vaccine from December, with sources close to the issue putting the chances at ’50/50′.
It has now been confirmed to Pulse by numerous sources that GPs and the whole of the NHS are going to be put on standby to start vaccinating over-85s and frontline workers from early December.
It remains unclear exactly which vaccines will be administered, but Pfizer’s vaccine in development has to be kept at minus 70 degrees, while the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine was shown to be more effective when administered in two doses.
There is also no indication as to the efficacy of any vaccine, and the chief scientific officer Sir Patrick Vallance has been keen to play down the chances of an effective vaccine.
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: ‘While there are no certainties in the development, production, and timing of new vaccines, there is a possibility a COVID 19 vaccine could be available in the UK in the first part of 2021.
‘It will only be rolled out once proven to be safe and effective through robust clinical trials and approved by medicines regulator the MHRA.

‘Once approved, the NHS stands ready to begin the vaccination programme to those most at risk, before being rolled out more widely.’
