The coronavirus vaccine rollout

We are going from strength to strength with the vaccine programme aren’t we?
Great news about the Novovax.

It is also 83% effective against the new variant Nemesia. Good news indeed.

The UK have 60 million doses on order of the Novovax vaccine, manufactured in Teeside & just approved for distribution. It is 89% effective against C-19.

According to tonight’s TV news this vaccine is particularly effective against the U.K. variant. This has to be a major boost to the UK’s efforts to get on top of the virus.
And 7.4 million U.K. citizens have now received at least their first vaccination.
Are we at last getting something right?

I’m 75 later this year but when I tried to get an appointment online today it said I wasn’t eligible. ?

My DH of 75 has had it, 3 men we know who had a telephone calls about it asked if their wives could be included and they all were. So to be honest I am feeling pretty miserable. I’m not the most patient of people as you will have guessed.

Very positive news at last.

Sour grapes coming from Germany.

The UK have 60 million doses on order of the Novovax vaccine, manufactured in Teeside & just approved for distribution. It is 89% effective against C-19.

Fake news farview.

...bothered about the report that the Astra zeneca vaccine isnt working in people aged 65+....

I see lots of FB posts around this area (London) of over 70s having the jab but I’ve yet to get a letter, I’m only 72 but thought I might hear something soon.
I’m glad to see Wales had a spurt.

I was chatting to a friend last night who volunteers as a local vaccination centre. She says it’s one of the best things she has done, everyone who has the jab is so grateful and happy to be there. For many it is the first time they have left the house since last March. Lots of tears of joy!

There’s been lots of noise about which country is going quickest and who is getting the vaccination first. Two pictures here to show where we are today, the 28th January. Wales have had a growth spurt. (yay!)

Scotland and England have both levelled off, and I recall that Nadhim Zahawi said that there would be less vaccine available this week, that could be the reason?
