Only if it gets 90% + efficacy...

New data has come from phase 3 that its just as effective as the current approved one. Id take it if it was 30% efficient tbh.

I’ve just had a positive test result back. Not the Christmas I was hoping for but a fitting end to the year!

Only mild symptoms so far, fingers crossed it stays that way.

The same, my wife, Son and myself tested positive on the 23rd December, mildish symptoms so far, but complicated a bit with my wife who has been taking anti biotics for a chest infection. Covid Christmas continued when my Daughter and Grandaughter, who are in our bubble, tested positive on Christmas eve, we are home until the third and fourth of January and will all follow the rules.

If true, the roll out of that vaccine could be monumental as according to my friend the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is fairly cheaper than the Pfizer option.

It's also much easier to store when administrating to the general public alongside the hugely significant ability to alter it rather quickly and easily due to it's design.

Her words were that she'd prefer to be administered that specific vaccine because the design is tried and tested.

Do you know if this is one jab or two?

It is much easier to use than the others. It should be a huge step forward in vaccination rollout for the UK.

No idea, but I will ask her as she was at an early stage somehow involved in the design process. She did mention that it was projected to be about half the price.

Two doses.

It's varied across different trails. The current guidance I've seen was half dose initially then a follow up.

Consideration at the moment about single dose to enable mass rollout.

Get the vaccine out. Hopefully will be easier to roll out than the Pfizer vaccine. Very low numbers have even had 1 dose so far.

I refuse to take any vaccine, until it`s gone before @davek and he has given his balanced and measured opinion on it.

 

[Billy Dean]

Great news.

 

[blulouie]

Fantastic news
That is way better than we all expected.

Please dont mess the distribution up.

 

[davek]

Ha Ha Ha Ha.

FFS, you couldn't make that up.

2 months ago it was 70% maximum effective now it's 100%.

Have they sprinkled some sawdust on that?
