This really is a game changer, crucially for the hot countries in the world.

Easy to store, cheap and the UK has pledged massive amounts free of charge to the poorer nations.

Great news.

Perfect timing as well .

I guess this announcement today

is to try and soften the blow when Johnson tells us later that the country is being locked down for Jan and Feb .

Fantastic news and a very well done to everyone behind this.

I'm just counting down the posts until an idiot posts they're not taking the vaccine because it takes 10 years to make one, or some silly nonsense about chips.

Hooray for today!!!!!!!!!

One amazing British success story does not make me feel proud to be British. The reason that we're in the position we are in now is because of the attitude of many Brits towards the virus and the rules throughout the pandemic.

Fortunately, the government won't need to be involved too much. Of course, they'll take the credit for everything when in fact, the credit should go to those involved in developing the virus (not gov) and those workers who are going to roll this out.

Reality check people

.. The target for the vaccination is one million doses per week. Population is 70million.

Also bear in mind everyone needs 2 doses.

Yes it might be good news, but it's not a quick fix

We are still in this hole for some time yet.

2021 will not be normal

Maybe 2022 if we are lucky, we might get back on the road to some recovery but that is on condition we have no further cock ups.

The aim is to get as many people their first shot asap, then follow up shots 12 weeks after the first.

The vaccine DOES NOT stop you catching covid but rather negates its effects. Rather than get a full blown illness, you might get slight coldlike symptoms for a few days but it will keep you out of hospital.

Getting as many people the first shot is hoped to give some protection. The second shot will reinforce that protection.

In the meantime, research still goes on at pace into all aspects of covid.

From what I understand it's not possible to have drive-through jab stations due to to monitoring needed for 15-minutes afterwards.

I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to work a system out though.

It should be very easy to get people in care homes vaccinated very quickly plus the care assistants if that is the case and they are the ones that need it most.

Thought the Oxford jab was only a single one unlike the pfzier which requires 2

Also low storage temps were not required so easier to vaccinate and never heard anything from Oxford ones needing a 15min observation

If this is true the testing stations could be used to vaccinate instead of test

If as some have said things won't get back to Normal till 2022 then I don't think we will have anything normal to go back to the whole of the UK will economically collapse be like it was end of the war where food n clothing will be rationed

We will become a third world country full of unemployed and people turning to crime to survive

So let's hope the good news of the Oxford vaccination stops this and people and businesses can start to get back to some form of normality early on In 2021

It’s great it’s been approved and easier to transport and store, especially for those not able to travel.

However, most of this year will be like 2020, masks, distancing etc, but I hope it kicks in enough to give the medical staff some respite and a chance for them to recover and recharge their batteries.

Maybe 2022 we’ll see some return to life as we used to know it.

In Scotland in the past week there has been 12x the number of people over 45 admitted to hospital than under 45s.I suspect UK rates would be similar.

We are able to vaccinate about 15m people for flu in a 12ish week period which is more than 1m a week and that's without opening sports stadiums etc for mass vaccinations.

There are 30m people aged 45 and over so double the number of people getting vaccinations then those at most risk of requiring hospital admission will be vaccinated by late march.

That keeps the NHS safer and will therefore allow the easing of restrictions.

As has been pointed out, only about 300 odd people under the age of 60 with no underlying health conditions have died from covid. Add those who are at risk into the vaccination programme in early April then the admissions and deaths will reduce drastically too.

Social distancing, masks etc will need to be worn for a lot longer and I can't see foreign travel returning to the way it was until after the autumn and maybe 2021 but at least we'll hopefully be in lowest tier restrictions before the summer.

Ivermectic kills the Covid 19 virus - virtually a 100% success rate when used on patients.

Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc with Azithromycin work too, if taken early. ( see The Zelenko Protocol).

Safe, tried and tested drugs of long standing 'repurposed'.

These are findings of clinicians experienced in the field, not politicians or pharma companies selling new drugs. So I'll pass on the vaccine thanks.

Sorry to say this, but many, many people who could have been saved have died unnecessarily, while millions of jobs and businesses have been adversely affected. This scandal will emerge in due course.

because it does not require being kept at a very low temperature,im sure the majority of care homes have someone who can administer injections and they can all be monitored 15 minutes after if that is the case as they aren't going anywhere.If not it should be quiet easy for someone who is capable to go into care homes and give quiete a lot of people the jab in a very short time.This vaccine is a game changer as regards how quickly you can vaccinate a lot of vunerable people in a short time.

"Professor Sir John Bell is not talking about protection, he's talking about the amount of people who will be sterilised by the vaccine.

Why put a stupid comment like that, that is a total lie

You just can't handle the truth.

Professor Sir John Bell said “These vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilise a population. They are very likely to have an effect which works in a percentage, say 60 or 70%.”

Interviewer John Snow was shocked, interrupts him and abruptly ends the interview.

"Professor Sir John Bell, professor of medicine at Oxford University, and a part of the GAVI team – Sir John is a member of SAGE (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies) and sits on the government’s vaccine task force that has negotiated the purchase of a handful of proposed vaccines to combat coronavirus – developing AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine, said in an interview with Jon Snow that “These vaccines are unlikely to completely sterilize a population. They are very likely to have an effect which works in a percentage, say 60 or 70%.”

In which case the virus will naturally die out with less hosts to infect. 60/70% is better than no protection at all

So it's a mass sterilisation programme?

What great news to end such a terrible year. Well done to everyone involved. It seems this could help many places that don't have the facilities to hold the other vaccine due to the storage temperature required.

When you say sterilize, I hope you are not thinking that the vaccine, or think that the Professor is saying that it will make you sterile (in a reproductive sense).

He means it solely in a covid viral sense.

Around 13 million of the population are, sixteen or younger, so there's on 53 million to vaccinate... then there is the 15%-20% who say they will refuse the vaccine. That leaves between 42 and 45 million to be vaccinated.

Here are Prof Bell's comments in full, from August (a long time ago in our understanding of Covid and our knowledge of whether vaccines would be available)

https://www.itv.com/news/2020-08-20/second-wave-of-coronavirus-and-really-bumpy-winter-ahead-warns-top-academic

Sterilised in a microbiological sense means free of micro-organisms, so his words refer to lack of viral particles, not sterile in the sense of being unable to procreate. Today, the Joint Vaccination Committee agreed pregnant and breastfeeding women could be vaccinated.

Indeed. Whilst it is good news, it is noticeable that the Government and the media don't want to talk about the arithmetic.

The Govt. have paid for 100,000,000 doses - two for each of 50,000,000 people. That's roughly 75% of the UK population - so, it'll be enough.

However, O-AZ say they can manufacture 1,000,000 doses per week. So, unless they outsource to India, or wherever; that's a year and 11 months to get them all made.

The NHS, even with the help of the care sector and the armed forces cannot inoculate anywhere near 1,000,000 people per week.

So, good news? Definitely. Back to "normality" by next spring? That's a lot more debatable.

It's been rolling off the production lines for months, and being placed in storage until approval. Obviously a bold strategy, because it might not have worked or been approved. They've already manufactured hundreds of thousands of doses before the approval. Good news indeed

It would seem ours are expecting something (they put out a video recording yesterday saying "vaccine programme imminent) and they're throwing everything at it. I don't think we had the technology to roll out the Pfizer one, unfortunately, so Oxford will do nicely. My Dad got little notice of his Pfizer jab on 21/12 (I think call on the Friday for Monday appointment).

It's already being done at GP surgeries (with the Pfizer one). My Dad had his done by his own GP. It depends on the surgery, how big, whether there's space for the 15min post jab wait etc, but yes, large venues are being lined up but they need people to staff it all.

Agreed. Even so, that's not going to get the job done by Easter, unless they take other measures too.

Already, the four UK CMOs are saying "one jab now, your second one in 12 weeks".

That was something Tony Blair was saying a fortnight ago - and the media is, now, conveniently ignoring the fact they gave him the air time to say it.

Understandably, since he's not a medical man, he was ignored. Now, he's being agreed with - we're told - for sound medical reasons. Did he really know something our top scientists and doctors didn't? What changed their minds?

It seems obvious that this is more a political move, to try and hit a very difficult target.

Obviously, I hope it works - but it's corner-cutting; something rightly avoided in the development and testing of the vaccines available.

So, if it doesn't work, or things aren't "back to normal" by Easter, expect Matt Hancock, Boris and the Daily Mail to blame the scientists and doctors.
