GP friends are saying they're seeing hardly any respiratory infections other than Covid, and putting it all down to using masks. Part of me hopes it's a habit we keep in cold and flu season.My money is on Thursday lol
That expert today saying that face masks may still be in use until winter 2021 is got to be nuts right? It's going to be an utter race to get the vaccines done as quickly as possible!
I think you're right on that. Will try to find confirmation.I also THINK we don't have to wait for delivery on the oxford one as isn't a certain number of million units of it already in the UK?
With the oxford 'regular fridge temperature' thing being a MAJOR factor once that gets approved i think every council leisure centre and arena in the land will become mass vaccination centres by February as there's no way on earth this rollout can be done at your local GP surgery on this sort of scale!There is a significant cost difference between the Oxford vaccine and the Pfizer one. The govt seem to have ordered millions of each of them though to hedge their bets.

The Pfizer vaccine can also be stored in the fridge following transport, and the vaccines are being transported in specially designed, temperature controlled containers. So both vaccines could potentially be administered in this way, which should make the rollout faster!With the oxford 'regular fridge temperature' thing being a MAJOR factor once that gets approved i think every council leisure centre and arena in the land will become mass vaccination centres by February as there's no way on earth this rollout can be done at your local GP surgery on this sort of scale!
I'm wondering if the two allergic reactions might slow its progress through the regulator by a day or so until they've looked at those figures.It's Thursday

Can't they just give this jab to the under 55s!!
