I haven't met anyone who believes the Boy Vampire on that point. Much more likely that most of the DHSC has gone on leave without thinking about the needs of the island. Probably to UK as a lot can work from home if not front line. So if they close borders they’re stuck across with the teachers and of course my daughter!!

As I said returning family forcing some DHSC employees to isolate with them. Having said that, I'm not sure if IOMG are still handing out dosh so the returners can isolate independently of the main family. Is that financial support still available? Whatever the case, the issue seems to be getting the right (or sufficient) numbers of DHSC and associated care workers to make sure a tray or trays of the vaccine is/are completely administered, ie, no wasted vials. At least that's what I've been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shouild be telling the nation why he is unable to deliver the "silver bullet" Quayle promised would be an early Xmas present. Useless pair of gobshites.

Andy Onchan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think the clincher to establishing a wider tolerance & reduction of the spread will be the roll-out of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. There's no requirement a convoluted logistics process that the Pfizer vaccine demands. Journos should be asking the question as to what proportion of the Oxford vaccine will the Island get (and when) once it's been given approval (given the fact that the UK government has ordered 100 million of these). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this article too, which shows a tweet from a European politician (rapidly retracted) showing the cost per dose of the different vaccines available. Many Europeans use a comma to show the decimal point btw, as in the table (sorry if that sounds patronising). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the advert for ZipVit banner at the top and thought.... blimey how the hell did they manage to get hold of that? AstraZeneca agreed with Oxford Uni Lab to manufacture and sell at more affordable prices to the lesser well off countries, hence the big difference.

the stinking enigma Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We will have got all our vaccines at cost price. Then we shall be selling them on at a decent mark up. Standard practice for our negotiations teams. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 US has already started vaccination programme with Pfizer vaccine. Reports in press that politicians getting it first (to show how safe it is of course) causing some disquiet. Not mentioned but I wonder when our UK football 'stars' and rich celebrities will be getting theirs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
