It’s funny, we often think of Europeans as more enlightened than us Brits. Clearly they’re not.
 
Not sure where but heard other day on radio that uptake in uk is in the high 90%s, I’d expect this to change when invites go out to mumsnet generation

One to keep an eye on . If only 1 in 3 who get the Pfizer dose ( and the second dose delayed 12 weeks ) have effective protection probably raises serious doubts on tbd uk strategy which I think based based on 70% plus effectiveness beyond 4 weeks .....

I wonder if the vaccine stats are available by manufacturer, Pfizer, AX etc

Its a worry. The article only seems to talk about cases though. Am I wrong in thinking the first dose is also expected to reduce the severity of symptoms in those that do contract covid.

Nevertheless if they are going to do a u turn they'd better do it quick. Having to start rollout all over again would be catastrophic.

5 million vaccinated and no stories of people vaccinated dying yet, apart from some within 3 weeks or who may have already been infected.

Edit: I'd be getting the people who have had their first dose called back sharpish. No problem with u turns and changing plans. It was an understandable gamble but we can't afford any more news that undermines the delays. Considering the pace of the rollout I'd say it wouldn't be such a disaster.

You're right but it's going to be a nervy month or two. It'd be the December vaccinations now that would be making the headlines if there were post vaccine deaths. Even then it'd be more like pre Xmas considering the lag between symptoms and death. If the first dose is lacking in protection the stories will start doing the rounds at the end of the month. Squeaky bum time!

I know. That's the article that's bothering me.

Edit: sorry I just noticed. That's Vallances counter. Haven't watched it yet. How does he explain the Israeli study claim.

You'd like to think the mechanisms are already in place for a quick switch around with the plans if needs be
