UK could get 40m Covid vaccine jabs by New Year as Pfizer begins roll-out (7)
tomcatty: Forty million coronavirus vaccines could be heading to the UK in the next two and a half months, it has emerged, after US multinational pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer revealed it had started the manufacturing process.
The pharmaceutical giant, which already has “hundreds of thousands” of doses ready at its Belgian production plant, is committed to delivering 100 million in 2020, of which 40 per cent are earmarked for Britain.
The two-dose vaccine could potentially enable 20 million British patients to be inoculated before the New Year.
However, rolling out such a vaccine to the public is subject to it being signed-off as safe and effective by regulators.
The logistics of getting sufficient doses to the front line also pose a challenge.
Ben Osborn, the UK boss of Pfizer, said: “It's still to finish the clinical trials, it's still to go through the regulatory process, but we do have physical product there available should we be successful.”
He told the Mail on Sunday: “We are already manufacturing the vaccine at risk and at scale.”
Mr Osborn’s comments come amid increasing optimism that the vaccine candidate designed by Oxford University, seen as one of the front-runners in the international race, could become available in the UK before Christmas.

This very cool and good news. I am glad you are the guinie pigs. We can watch morph into whatever post vaccinations.

Given it's designed by Oxford University, there's a level of credibility and trust associated with that.
I'm a lot more open to the idea than I was before, not that I'm high risk and will be first in the queue, either.

My family would be in the queue before me given my daughter is an essential worker.I've been unemployed throughout the pandemic, I can completely self-isolate if necessary and I've had it, so may still have anti-bodies. I can ride this out a little longer.
Some 620 NHS and care worker deaths have been linked to covid. It's about priorities, eh?
