Good News Thread Part 3

[FuzzyPuffling]

New thread as I got worried the old one was going to run out of space!

800,000 is good. I don't think Scotland's is great - I think I heard NS say something like 56k this week. At this rate it'll be march before we've reached 10% of the population.

The 56,000 is up to Sunday, so it’ll be more now. Plus we won’t be staying at these rates forever, and even 56,000 is a big increase from the 18,000 last week.

But this vaccine will be slow to distribute. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 for the Oxford vaccine because things can really speed up once that gets going as it's so much easier to distribute.

It won’t be at this rate though. The way it works is that each week it is rolled out to more hubs so each week it is happening in more places so accelerating numbers are built in. The really big centres in football stadiums etc haven’t even started yet but once we get the Oxford vaccine the numbers can really build. It will be fine!

Bit behind. So we have more than 800,000 Pfizer vaccines now? Not on order, actually here and available to use?

Thank you guys, you're all right of course.

Having a bit of an OH FUCKING HELL day so this is the best thread to be on.

That's 800,000 people who have been immunised with their first jab in the country. We were supposed to have a further 5 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine in the country by the end of the year - but I don't know more than that.

Maybe this year Christmas Day is actually going to be 28th December ?!?!

It will be for me! Finding Christmas Eve a bit hard tbh (I’m in tier 4- explains everything!)

Christmas Eve always used to be my favourite time of year!

Just opened my safari on my phone where it seems to be permanently on "Oxford Vaccine news" pages lol

Yeah T4 here and shielding Dh so no real difference for us.

Anyway, if we get vaccinated in the next weeks, I'll be buying you lot a drink down the (heaving) pub next Christmas Eve for keeping me going these last months. 🥂

Now there’s a lovely thought! Merry Christmas x

Cheers one and all and a merry Christmas. Let’s hope there is lots more good news to be posting on here very soon ❤️❤️🎄🎄

Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas everyone

Here’s to the big pressie soon re vaccine news

Thank you for this thread. Does anyone know how many vaccines we will be able to do each week if/when the Oxford vaccine is approved? Thank you.

Merry Christmas fellow vaccine watchers!

Feeling much more positive today!

@Crumpetycrump about 4-5 million a week according to the document in the HSJ. Just checked for you.
