Ian T Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 BBC article published 15 mins ago: "The UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine for widespread use. British regulator, the MHRA, says the jab, which offers up to 95% protection against Covid-19 illness, is safe for roll out next week. Immunisations could start within days for people in high priority groups. The UK has already ordered 40m doses - enough to vaccinate 20m people, with two shots each. Around 10m doses should be available soon, with the first doses arriving in the UK in the coming days."

ptod Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 When the news broke and I read the headlines, all I could picture was HM The Queen with a smiley faced plaster on her arm. I hope things go smoothly as the UK ramps up distribution. Ian T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
