Hope effects of the vaccine are slightly better than those of Spice or Krokodil.

They are better - you don’t die of Covid-19

They did use Barnet FC's stadium this week, although it's been a very long time since anything resembling football was played at Barnet...

(Sorry, Barnet fans )

Stadiums - plural

Are you suggesting that the NHS should recruit drug addicts? Great idea.

Not sure I want the vaccine injected in my Scrotum or between my toes.

If you don't need to find a vein, an injection is easy to do by people with basic training.

Ahh, you live in Dollis Valley then.

That’s because they are not using football stadiums, like wise ministrone expected them to do

2 mln per week needed to get in good position in 20 weeks (summer time), as soon as things will look less grim in spring number of willing participants will drop and legislation will be needed to get better coverage, like no pub without vaccine

It's not ******* difficult. I give myself all my travel injections save Yellow Fever because of the need for the certificate.

If they are properly trained, supervised and the injection is pre-dispensed?

50% with 95% efficacy will get us herd immunity, especially if much higher %-tage in high risk groups (old, Nhs staff and those with co-morbidities)

At that rate — roughly 17,237 vaccinations per day — it would take around 3,481 days to give all 30million people on Downing Street's priority list their two doses.

As many as half of Britons will not get a Covid-19 vaccine by the end of next year, a report has warned.

The National Audit Office, which monitors government spending, said plans assumed that just 25million will receive jabs if enough become available.


This would suffice for the priority groups – the over-50s, frontline health workers, those in care homes and people with underlying health conditions.


But it would leave younger adults waiting until 2022.

Yeah, but the same order of magnitude at least. I think they'll do OK in the end - perhaps the first thing they won't have stuffed up this year.
My old man is getting his first jab this afternoon, which is quite remarkable when you think about how recently it was approved.

That's because he is on Bill Gates high priority list
