Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 49 minutes ago, Michael W said: All over the press today. Insufficient immune response in over 50s. Exactly backs up the Government hedging its bets on the vaccines, which is one of the few good calls that it has made. Any one of them could've flopped and it appears we have our first dud. The vaccine procurement and furlough (for the most part) are about the only things they've managed competently since taking office a year ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going to do combined trials of the Oxford & Sputnik ones, I'd think they got some of the Russian one on order. And probably the Chinese one too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve ordered Oxford doses rather then the UK ordering Sputnik 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manifesto Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Just now, welshbairn said: Astra Zeneca and Oxford will no doubt be working with them, but it looks like the Gamaleya Research Institute will be conducting the trials. Reuters AstraZeneca said it was considering how it could assess combinations of different vaccines, and would soon begin exploring with Russia's Gamaleya Institute, which developed Sputnik V, whether two vaccines based on a common-cold virus could be successfully combined. It did not give further details. However, its Russian arm said it would start to enrol adults aged 18 and older for the trial. https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-astrazeneca-russia/astrazeneca-hitches-ride-with-russias-sputnik-in-vaccine-race-idUSKBN28L0YQ AZ have branches everywhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Johnson and Johnson's vaccine should be going for approval in February. UK's got an order of 30 million.How many vaccines is the UK supposed to have on order? 20m Pfizer IIRC, 5m Moderna due Easter time, 30m J&J and something like 50m AZ/Oxford? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jedi Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 So schools in Wales and Germany move to online learning pre-Christmas.Stats suggest teachers in Scotland running at around three times the average Scottish infection rate,the EIS ballots its members to take out grievances against local Councils.Englans offers the option of schools stopping on the 17th. Meanwhile the Sturg continues to say that schools will be the very 'last' places to close,Swinney says that kids have more chance of infection in the 'community's rather than in a cramped building with 1500 others.
