Will be interesting to see what the uptake is as we move forward. Is there a minimum uptake we need for the famed herd-immunity to kick in?More good vaccine news. End of September for full vaccination, which should only come forward with, I assume, more available vaccines and better infrastructure. All the vulnerable will be done by April time so we'll be in tiers then and I reckon almost no lockdown at all by June.
Also talk of a nasal spray that is to soon go on sale which can allegedly reduce the risk of Covid-19 being spread. A second spray is also being looked at which early results are claiming to show 99.9% effectiveness. I’ll take both claims with a pinch of salt, however I am happy that in addition to the vaccine to prevent/minimise the chance of catching the virus, there is now some talk of an easy to acquire cure for those who have already been infected.
Is that the one developed in Birmingham? Saw a piece on Sky News about that and the science was pretty mind blowing. They reckoned they could catch the virus in the nose and then apply a coating which prevents it from causing infection.Also talk of a nasal spray that is to soon go on sale which can allegedly reduce the risk of Covid-19 being spread.

From what I've read for proper herd immunity we need 75-80%Will be interesting to see what the uptake is as we move forward. Is there a minimum uptake we need for the famed herd-immunity to kick in?
Flu vaccine uptake seems to run around 70-72% in the over 65s, assume this will be higher.
If we can all get done, so much the better. Still unclear how it affects people who seemingly get it mild, so let's move on and be done with it!From what I've read for proper herd immunity we need 75-80%
Some rumours of one vaccine efficacy being lower than hoped
Yep. Only in the sun and papers like that for nowThe Pzifer Vaccine in over 60s with only 1 shot maybe
Yep. Only in the sun and papers like that for now
Omg it's gonna be a scary press conference tonight.
Jenny Harries is starring.
I honestly don’t know but I’m assuming you can’t mix n match with the virus, ie: if you receive the Pfizer vaccine for your first jab then only the Pfizer will work for the follow up and the same with the AstraZeneca etc.
Or am I wrong, can any of the 2nd doses be used ?

That’s what I mean, I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere.Not sure as don't the Pzifer and AZ vaccines work differently?
That’s sort of what I thought, another reason to 2nd jab in the recommended 3 - 4 weeks.One uses mutated chimp virus the other just uses the viral RNA, they produce the same effect but in quite different ways. It is much better to be consistent as that’s what each was studied with.

Along similar lines to a previous post about the interval between doses where I suggested 3 weeks was a minimum
Yes please, i suspect there will come a time this Spring when things begin to open up and travel is permitted, we run a pub for a living so not envisaging being able to open for at least a couple of months afterwards.Furnished holiday home. I can dm the website if you are interested. In cornwall
