RAMROD 62,866 Posted January 23 (edited) All down to their own Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine The AstraZeneca shot can be stored for six months at regular fridge temperatures of 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, meaning it can be moved several times and used in very small batches. The Pfizer shot, which has also been authorized in the U.S. and in Europe, is delivered in large batches and must be stored at minus-70. Once thawed it must be used in 3½ days. That versatility means supplies of the AstraZeneca shot are being prioritized for nursing homes, according to a letter sent to all family doctors in England on Jan. 13 that also offered them a cash incentive for giving first doses to residents.

xoxo Craig 53,626 Posted January 23 Yeah but the UK is doing so much worse when it comes to people dying/infected. While its good that the numbers getting vaccinated are high, so are (unfortunately) the people dying... and yet the Government thinks that its acceptable we have the highest death rate in the world, its not something to be proud of. We'll take the positive but the UK should be doing WAYYYY better than it is End Racism Now 10 2 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
Supersonic 46,901 Posted January 23 The UK HAS to be quicker with vaccinations, considering the fact there are so many active covid cases (and SEVERE covid cases) that you gotta wait 9 hours for an ambulance to come (aka if you get into a severe car accident, you will die. period. no one will safe your life) and that ambulances are waiting in line for HOURS to drop off patients at hospitals, only to get potentially turned away because the hospital is full to go look for another free bed in town. they're not in this position because they're doing well. 5 2 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

Just because they don't have it in their country doesn't mean they shouldn't get it... especially when the rest of the world is still dealing with Covid-19 and its many variants End Racism Now 1 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
Dulo Peep 10,799 Posted January 23 i want the astra zeneca vaccine! I don't want sputnik or cansino dul0_pEEP in your Areaaah! 1 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
funkyhaus 7,167 Posted January 23 Yeah but that vaccine is unapproved in the rest of Europe. Also whilst they’re vaccinating more people, they’re completely going against the manufactures own advice of giving the second dose 6 weeks after the first. I think they’re giving the second one like 12 weeks after the first? So they don’t know how effective it is after that. Looks good from the outset but I think it’ll end up being a mess Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter

Mer Boy 22,477 Posted January 23 (edited) 24 minutes ago, weed said: Will people in NZ, Australia, or other countries done with covid get vaccinated? Hi Aussie here! Yes we will be getting vaccines but we are waiting a bit. Btw I wouldn't say we are done with COVID yet. Even though we currently have little to no community transmission, we experienced how quickly things can spiral out of control. Lots of people are still masking up, social distancing etc. @sarahb very true but I have faith in our testing-tracing-isolating system. If the virus does leak from hotel quarantine, they will detect it quickly and snuff it out due to daily testing of staff. The state governments have learned a lot from Melbourne's second wave. Stay safe everyone. Edited January 23 by Mer Boy "f***ing rat" - @dynamite 1 Quote Share Link to post Share on other sites Facebook Twitter
