Great news about the vaccine.Fingers crossed..Stock Mkts gone up...The commies wil be well cheesed off on here...Hoping for UK to fall off economic cliff forever..
Not quite, this one is mRNA, which is brand spanking new. The Oxford one is a more traditional vaccine.The really good news is that almost all of the productive vaccines in progress use the same technique to create the protection so we may well end up with several viable vaccines.
Should we need to modify and adapt during a "season" or for each season it will give more flexibility.
Once you've got healthcare workers and a decent amount of the older population vaccinated then it's less risky having it going viral in the youth.How will this be managed though?
For instance, presumably the vaccine is intended to allow a return to normal life.
Which must be to some extent dependent on actually having been vaccinated?
If so, you'd logically have to prove so?

I'd expect that measures similar to tier 3 would be needed until all the OAPs and vulnerable are covered and then the measures get relaxed.
Given recent history there'll be a third wave at that point with lots of infections but much fewer hospitalised and dead 30 somethings.
Imagine how many people could have been saved if the same apparent effort/money had been injected into research towards all the other diseases around the world that kill far more people than the 'virus'...
Where have I heard that before?
GPs don't have the bandwidth for this. Apparently it also needs to be supercooled which makes delivering it more awkward.GPs will be rolling out the vaccine under their DES contracts which they are still negotiating.
What's really fun is that the mRNA stuff is cutting edge and is thought to be useful for all sorts of viruses and diseases that weren't previously practical to create vaccines for.Perhaps you forgot the millions and millions of people saved by these 14 vaccines...........https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/diseases/forgot-14-diseases.html

I'd expect hospitals and something like the drive in test centers to be used for delivery.
