The vaccine task force said they brought the vaccines that they felt would come online first.
We invested a lot in az we dieent know the effectiveness of any of the vaccines really or how many would work we took a punt initially.
I imagine reading reports like az is less effective with delta is worrying if you had az.
My husband 48 so far he's only had 1 az.
I am 41 and only had 1 pfizer
We are feeling bit worried as keep reading about people double jabbed catching covid and being quite ill.
We have 3 kids at 3 different schools all have multiple cases of covid some are totally closed due to staff shortages.
I do think though its frustrating that the government are not looking at risks of jobs and other than hospitalisation and deaths how not prioritising the ages that heavy mix will damage the economy and just the way we operate.
If a school doesn't have enough staff it can't safely open.
OK schools don't make money but the parents who all have stay at home with their sick children are all missing work some if which put the NHS under greater pressure than simply beds.
Our gp system seems broken.
Mental health is broken
Cancer services are patchy
So looking at these top like figures and not looking at wider picture a country overwhelmed with covud cases I mean we had 27 k yesterday will impact upon the economy due to last 2 hard lockdown we have lost income and watch our spending.
Lots families earning zero right now as they stuck at home looking and teaching their kids because the government decided let it rip in schools and not planning on vaccinating 12_16 which I believe is supply and cost issue as pfizer is one of the more expensive ones.
Some say if more people get it then we achieve herd via natural immunity.
However thats not really worked out that well for Brazil .
When we saw the awful cases of younger people and kids being affected in Brazil, India and chilli so many posters on here came up with.
Well they had the efficient Chinese vaccine.
That it's poor country
That they have weak helathcare system
Well poverty is prevalent in many parts 9f the UK which is linked to underlying conditions , health and life expectancy.
I always feel like the NHS is hanging by a thread.
The gps struggled cope with roll out vaccines as well as see patients.
This has had knock on effect loads of a and e being overwhelmed especially with child respiratory illness not usually seen in winter.
The success of our vaccine programme has been on hiring out large sporting venues to act as vaccination Centre and thousands of volunteers.
How long can this realistically last?
I'm honestly dreading autumn winter I think we will get new varients that current vaccines less effective with .
We already know delta is more transmissible and vaccines not as effective as early trials which were a previous strain.
