Pfizer vaccine report

[Harry Bloomfield]

They reckon there will be 20? odd vaccines on the market by next spring

Blimey spoilt for choice

Inny, meany, miny, mow...

More Vaccine news. The Pfizer one mentioned earlier has finished phase 3.

Pfizer/BioNTech say they also have the necessary safety data that regulatory bodies require, and will submit the vaccine for emergency approval within days to the US Food and Drug Administration and other regulators around the world.

So, if youre 85+ then there's a decent chance you might get offered a shot this year.

As soon as this pandemic is over, we should all nuke Chyyyna

High-risk first though

What if you are a Tory donor, friend of a Tory Mp, VIP? Isn't there a special channel for those?

In fact you even get paid to take the vaccine.

Yep, over 85 who'll get the most value from the Vaccine.

Then 5 year groups down to 60/65 and then clinically extremely vulnerable, with medics thrown in for fun fairly early on.

Care home assistants, and hospital workers even if they are not medics.

 

[Trazor]

How about giving the Vaccine first to MP'S, if they die we win, and if they don't die, and it cures the Virus, we win.

 

[JohnD]

Antivaxxers and MPs should be at the bottom of the list.

 

[SirGalahad]

The Government has provided immunity to the vaccine providers so if things go wrong, they don't need to take the hit.

Is that opinion or has the roll out plan changed? It makes sense for the over 80s as they have limited treatment options.

It's a rough summary of the JVCI plan, nothing much has changed from what I can tell.

This interim ranking of priorities is a combination of clinical risk stratification and an age-based approach, which should optimise both targeting and deliverability. A provisional ranking of prioritisation for persons at-risk is set out below:

1. older adults’ resident in a care home and care home workers[footnote 1]
2. all those 80 years of age and over and health and social care workers[footnote 1]
3. all those 75 years of age and over
4. all those 70 years of age and over
5. all those 65 years of age and over
6. high-risk adults under 65 years of age
7. moderate-risk adults under 65 years of age
8. all those 60 years of age and over
9. all those 55 years of age and over
10. all those 50 years of age and over
11. rest of the population (priority to be determined)[footnote 2]

The prioritisation could change substantially if the first available vaccines were not considered suitable for, or effective in, older adults.

I have 2 uncles living in their own homes and looking after themselves - both in their early 90's. Wives deceased.

Some news about the Oxford one, 300 million doses ordered ?? I think.

Produces antibodies and ok with older people but no tests on what happens if some one is infected. No numbers either. They were just testing it on people who lived in the Thames valley. There was talk about trialling it in other countries and I would have thought a number of people in various other parts of the country would be prepared to give it a try. Some thousands of them.
