It is good news to trial mixed jabs
This whole Nationalism stuff is hiding the fact that the world must jab as many people as fast as possible safely.
Sinopharm & Sputnik work less well than others but a damn sight better than no jab.
Mix & match is far better plan than jingoism
Sister is getting 1st jab today she has COPD & has basically been a prisoner in her home for a year.
"Sputnik V is one of three Covid vaccines worldwide with an efficacy higher than 90% in symptomatic cases.
The other two are Pfizer / BioNtech (95%) and Moderna (92%), while Oxford / AstraZeneca ranges between 62-90% effective - all three jabs have been approved by UK regulators.
Novavax and Johnson and Johnson jabs have efficacy ratings of 86-89% and 66% respectively and are yet to be approved by the MHRA for use in the UK.
Sputnik V can be stored between two and eight degrees Celsius and costs around £7 per dose.
The Pfizer jab has to be stored at a temperature of -70c, the Moderna jab needs to be stored at -20c, while the Oxford, Novavax and Johnson and Johnson jabs can be stored at fridge temperature.
Sputnikās cost of around Ā£7 a dose is on a par with the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, cheaper than Moderna (Ā£28), Pfizer (Ā£15), Novavax (Ā£12) but more expensive than the Oxford jab (Ā£3)."
Can someone explain why there is a two week gap in the vaccination plan?
Old fogies and us lot will be done by mid Feb, and the next lot start getting done from the end of Feb.
What happens n the second half of Feb? Will we run out f vaccine?
During that two week period theyāre planning to host a Nationwide Festival of Recorder Ensembles with the main event being staged at Glastonbury. At the climax of the festival Boris Johnson is going to jump out of a hot air balloon and paraglide down on to the Pyramid stage. Heās then going to expel several sub-contra basses from his anus and hand them out to the rest of his cabinet who will be gathered around him on the stage finally heās going to shit out a Yamaha great bass to the rapturous applause of the crowd and launch into a medley of patriotic classics. To climax he will play the finger sequence to activate the nanobots and then things will get really wild. HTH.
Thank the lord! Things are really looking up as we move slowly towards the end of lockdown, and this post is surely a sign that we are gradually returning to insane normality.
Despite the fact that a sub contra is probably somewhere north of Ā£5,000, I donāt want one of these secondhand, even if they are sold off cheap, and here I mean at a low price, and not going ācheepā.
Aha - the govt we all know and love are back. After briefly confusing us with a display of competence over vaccines, they have reverted to type with this quarantine idea
