Looks like the EU regulator will accept AZ for adults of all ages and its down then to each nation to use it as they see fit.

Given the lack of data I cant see many of them putting it into the arms of their elderly. Germany wont, for sure.

What makes you think the EMA will give it the thumbs up mate? Have I missed a leak.
 
Scotland’s immunisation programme is a national disgrace. England population is approx X10 bigger, but look at the charts...

Sturgeon should be getting dragged over the coals for this, but she somehow gets away with it....

Mind you, that idiot in Wales is no better......

Be great if there's another vaccine cleared in the next few months. Summer could look a lot brighter.

That novavak one is coming online , that 60 million orderd for the UK and made on Teesside,
Bit of good news .
Rumours of a few other drugs coming on line in the coming weeks to help with the treatment of covid cases as well, so a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

incredible what the best and brightest can achieve when the immediate economy needs them and politicians get out of their way. A shame with longer term issues we don't feel the need to prioritise such people

Even the murderer Johnson leaked that info today trying to put out the flames of the German decision. The EMA will dodge the call to advise against it because they see the issue as getting an efficacious vaccine into the game (which is what the AZ vaccine has proven to be for younger age groups).

What I dont understand in all this is how people get so worked up about championing a vaccine because of some national connection (and AZ is Swedish-British created - and funded by all EU nations - in any case...a point missed by right wing vaccine nationalists on here like @peteblue @arminisgod @Brennan ).

I dont get it.

Let’s see mate, I have my suspicions, unless AZ provided a smoking gun in data to the EMA. I think Germany broke ranks today and would be a fudge really if the decision was delegated to specific country’s, I’d be surprised and critical personally. I’ll be looking at what the produce tomorrow closely.

The nationalism aspect is a bit silly, I don’t even think it’s a feature in production to be honest, heard tonight that the vaccine produced in the two factories in the UK are shipped to Germany for “filling” then shipped back to the UK. It’s all just silly. There will be over saturation of vaccines very shortly for us fat cat country’s while the developing world waits, it’s like a kids birthday party with the kids closest to the cakes trying to nobble them all first stuffing themselves, before the kids at the other end of the table can get them.

Anyhow I think it will all get a bit more heated before it relaxes if the EU shaping up, follows through, they don’t look like they are messing about.

Well Dave you are just at the other end of the spectrum. Automatically hating anything even slightly related to Britain. You go on about trusting the science and scientists but only as long as it isn't British scientists who are incorrect and serve up gnat's piss. Refusing to acknowledge any benefit of the AZ vaccine saying you won't take it until it has been okayed by EU and US regulators because you believe our regulators are just puppets of the government. You genuinely come across as desperate for the AZ vaccine to fail.

I personally couldn't give a toss where the vaccine comes from as long as it is going to help us finally get out of this horrendous situation we have all had to live through for coming up to a year. None of the vaccines are perfect but hopefully by utilising all of them we will be able to return to some form of normality in the not too distant future.
