Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

America has announced it will do health care workers first

Then care home residents.

Hasn't announced any further yet but on CNN it was suggesting they would do other emergency services next ( police firefighters etc) followed by those who were vulnerable ( including all over 65's)

BBC reports this morning that the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for use in UK. They say that elderly in care homes will get it first. Vaccination will be rolled out from next week

Couldn't believe it on tonights BBC Wales news. The vaccine arrives at a hospital in Wrexham. The pharmacist says they've not handled anything before that needs to be stored at such low temperatures. Pfizer say the vaccine is stable for short periods in the fridge.

Then the camera pans to someone who has the box of vaccines in front of her and she's counting them to check the contents of the box!!

Hope they still work.

Another pic purported to be of vaccine arriving somewhere and the driver of a van had the fridge box open and was holding a cardboard box 'of the vaccine' in his bare hands. From a -70 freezer??? Right!!

I saw that photo. You have this image of it all arriving under armed escort, in reality it’s more like an Amazon driver in a rush....
