I'll take Moderna. Don't fancy the single shot one too much as the figures aren't all that compared to the others but hey, I'll be guinea pig for Moderna.
But just get a move on ya goons. If you want me out and about in June, get the fuck on with it!

By June Novavax will hopefully be on the go too. Moderna has been widely used in the US also, pretty safe and effective.

Needs must with reduced supplies, second jabs have to take priority if it's a choice between the two. When supplies are back up I don't have an issue with waiting further down the queue to keep it going down the ages.
Stopping people going bonkers is sending people bonkers tbf .

I was asked this in a lesson today, I know they're doing trials on it so until the data's in from them then not any time soon.

We’ve been told it could be something that will be available Aug/Sept if results from trials are positive.

Pretty much all my mates who’ve had the vaccine live in Wyken and predominately are registered at the Forum Health Centre. Maybe it’s just as simple as a location or demographics thing?
As an example my SiL literally turned 40 just over two weeks ago and she had hers yesterday.
You’ll get yours soon!

Maybe a low demographic of the higher risk groups round there so they're getting through them quicker.

In an ideal world it would make sense but could you imagine the logistical nightmare of sorting it all out and then who deserves what and by why you are assessing them on as priority, job, weight, health etc.
If it’s any consolation one of the people I know who got one of the waiting list doses is a teacher in a Cov who has just turned 30.
I know this will annoy some people but for him it was a simple case of when his Mum went to get her vaccine she knew one of the people working there and she got chatting and talked about her son teaching etc. and they agreed to add him on the list if there were any spares. Think he got a phone call about 10 days later and went in and got jabbed.

tbh I've got no problem with teachers, volunteers etc getting the thing first - they're the ones being stuck in the riskiest situations atm

Tbh after the oldies I do think they should have gone through teachers, police, pharmacists, etc... I don't think it would have been that hard to sort out.

Won't need one to go in, will need one to get served. That way they can say Gove never said that wouldn't happen

Wonder if other countries copied the 12 week gap? If they didn't it gives them scope to catch up and get people fully vaccinated before us. Although obviously its not a race against each other, we're going to need countries to be vaccinated before we open travel back up.
Are they picking up the pace in the US as well? Seeing people over there in their 40s getting jabbed.

Over here they started vaccinating teachers before the over 70s.

No, here there is not the 12 week gap - the total number of vaccinated people is not actually far behind the UK.
I think the USA is smashing through but I saw something yesterday on the news here about them being on the verge of yet another wave as the country is more or less fully opened up.

It is. Glad to see our government put its name to it, too.

At the risk of repeating myself however... the risk of hospitalisation among over 40s is great enough that, that's why it would be pretty crazy to remove masks and distancing before they and others have been vaccinated. If you remove all obstacles to transmission, it makes it virtually certain you'll catch the thing, meaning a far higher rate of transmission, to result in higher admissions.This is what the Gov showed yesterday in briefing. Two charts with two different axis
Someone has put both sets of data in with the same axis and its far far less scary then shown in the briefing.

Well that’s my profession and age, it’s just annoying that it’s happening on a whim and not systematically.

I am referring to the total number of people actually fully vaccinated.
Total number of vaccinations in Italy - 3.03 million

Right, but represents less protection overall.

I was commenting more on the roll out of the vaccine finally picking up pace over here - the strategy like the rest of the world has been to concentrate on the the two doses in the recommended timeframe.

Canada suspends use of AstraZeneca Covid vaccine for those under 55
Immunisation panel says there is ‘substantial uncertainty about the benefit’ of the vaccine given risk of rare type of blood clot
Not that I agree with this but did people say that actions like this were just the EU trying to get back at AZ?

I'm 49....full of vaccine envy....and getting a bit pissed off with the ever increasing anecdotal evidence that loads of people are now effectively queue jumping by blagging.....or living somewhere posh....or being registered with a family GP practice instead of a community health centre....or suddenly claiming to be unpaid carers cos they did their Ma's shopping a couple times.....

Lol I’d rather have 90% protection from hospitalisation for 30 million people

As I said, things are starting to get moving much quicker now but the big problem has been the lack of proper lockdown for a year and following a bodged tier system that was based upon the UK one. Up until a few weeks ago it was possible to drink inside inside bars here.

It’s unsubstantiated nonsense from any government incapable of interpreting statistics or biology
