AstraZeneca vaccine: what now for rollout in the UK and Europe?

The UK’s proposal to give under-30s other vaccines shouldn’t be too disruptive, but in Europe, greater restrictions look likely.

"However, both the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have stressed that for the vast majority of people, the vaccine’s benefits outweigh its potential harms. By the end of March, when just over 20 million doses had been given in the UK, 79 people had suffered rare blood clots, and 19 had died. Up to the same point, COVID-19 vaccines are estimated to have saved around 6,000 lives in the UK."

I am on the side of checking these issues now they have been identified. It obviously makes sense. But let's not also lose track of the numbers
 
Seeing a few articles in the media which is suggesting that some people are rejecting the AZ vaccine in the UK. Hopefully this won't have a major impact on the roll out. Locally a very high percentage of people are getting vaccinated.

Crazy to encourage people to help spread infection.

Ive got my holiday booked for August carried over from last year. Depending on the price of the Covid tests I may reschedule for next year but tbh would rather go next year anyway more so the missus moaning for a holiday.

Just sack off foreign travel for this year.
is it really worth the risk of bringing in new strains right now ?

Exactly

Just govern for once and come out and say 'No foreign travel this year'

We live in a beautiful country in desperate need of internal tourism - Time for the plebs to explore their own lands rather than booking a week in Benidorm
 
With the PCR tests how are they going to stop people going to the local testing site to get one for free rather than paying? Is it a different document?

It's not what you say but that they're incomprehensible that's the problem. But you can't leave me alone and always manage to reply. :)

Here's me naively thinking that was going to be a predictive post you made a while ago about the USA donating their AZ vaccine stocks to their neighbours for use on elderly people.

I really should have known better. :blush:
