That alone doesn't mean it isn't going well overall. I understand the frustration and anxiety relating to personal situation - I have a relative in Priority Groups 1-4 who is still waiting - but compared to practically every country in the world, our vaccination programme is looking very, very...

"It's not your job to be as confused as Nigel" is one of the greatest ad-libbed lines of all time.

Yet a different poll painted 25% as unwilling, with 70% willing and 5% unsure.

Unfortunately a couple of "severe" reactions to the Pfizer vaccine have been reported. In both instances, they are people with a history of allergic reactions, so it is being recommended that people with a history of problems with allergies do not take the Pfizer vaccine. It should also be said...

Ashton Gate is being used as Bristol's hub, despite it continuing to be used as a venue for Championship football.

As you say, the fear of the odd is slowly overtaken by the sheer mundanity of it all for the majority of us fortunate enough not to be too directly affected. That's one of the first things I remember thinking back around April/May - "In films, pandemics never seem boring, but in reality a lot...

Derby Arena revealed as likely first confirmed mass vaccination centre. Hancock said this morning first vaccines rolling out "in a matter of weeks".

Now the question for me is - do we think we might make it into the Amex for ANY of the current season?

No it isn’t. It’s everyone’s health that you affect if you choose not to have it. That’s the whole point.

Ha - I intentionally took the s off vaccines to stop this joke happening. Oh well.

I understand this view, however - how do you decide how many months to wait? I have also read that the vast, vast majority of side effects/issues are apparent within first 2 months of a vaccine, hence the FDA asking for 2 months’ safety data.

Wanted to keep this well away from the Good News Thread. We are now approaching the final straight for potential approval of 4 initial vaccines - Pfizer/BioNTech, AstraZeneca/Oxford, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Current noises are that there is a 50/50 chance of some high priority members of...
