3 months apart...will need insane speed to get Glastonbury happening

I think this is a good thing? On the 2 dose, 3 weeks apart doing a million a week you'd only have about 8/9 million people fully vaccinated by April. If it's 2-3 months apart you're getting closer to having 15/16 million partly vaccinated by April*

I think there is evidence Pfizer has an efficacy of between 52% and 90% after 1 shot. The requirements for any vaccine to be approved was at least 50% effective. So if they have data which shows Oxford does that after one shot then they are getting more people vaccinated sooner and worrying about the top up to 90% later on.

 

Hopefully someone has done the maths on the impact of having a small group fully protected or a large group partly protected and which will save more lives.

Oxford-AZ approved

Good beautiful morning!

Glastonbury positivity meter has shot up again!

[kalifire]

Great news. Now it’s all about the rollout. 

[bamber]

So how is this going to work? Will we all need vaccine passports to go to Glastonbury?

At this point I don’t think anybody knows, not even GFL.

Good news about Oxford/AZ vaccine being approved. This vaccine could literally save the world.

[steviewevie]

Length of time between doses extended to 12 weeks...to allow more to get first.

There must be a short window to decide. They have to call it by late March, at a guess?

Positive news this morning. All we need now is patience and hope that for the next few months everyone conforms to the social,distancing, hand washing etc. The danger is that certain folk seem to be ignoring that and increasing the rate of infections. 

And maybe either a vaccine passport or a supply of Twix and  a ladder  to get into Glasto?😉

What a wonderful bit of news to wake up to and what a positive way to end the year, the light at the end of the tunnel just got brighter

Here we fucking go!!!

Great news at a time when it all seems pretty bleak! Let's hope announcement today stems the tide in the meantime.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Where’s @crazyfool1? Not like him not to be logged on when good news like this is announced. Maybe a wee bit early in the morning for him?😁😉

Bojo press briefing later and with brexit and the vaccine he can hail this year as a great success and next year will be even better.

Cynics might surmise that the announcement of the vaccine might have been made to coincide with stricter tiers.

Supposed to be yes. Commons later today I believe.

Easier to say full lockdown for two weeks while we push this out and then review where we are.

I’m hoping so anyway

[morph100]

How quick do we think they can give everyone the first dose? If its already produced and can be kept in a normal fridge the bottle neck must be the people allowed to do the jabbing?

wish my postman had fridge bag and could just do everyone on his rounds 🙂

[kalifire]

Nationwide Tier 4, with Tier 5 for hotspots, imo. Set a review date and the target to reach for specific restrictions to be eased. Give people a roadmap, which would at least help businesses (and festivals?) to make more informed decisions. Tiers without an end in sight are just bleak af.
