Sorry no I didn't, one day I will workout how all this works, (perhaps)Did you really mean to quote me at the same time?

They're now scaling up manufacturing in the UK, and also globally. They expect to be mass vaccinating in the UK by January, with the ability to deliver around 5 million doses per week. He didn't seem to be too worried about the ability of the authorities to deliver these vaccines to the population, noting that it is simple to store and delver, and that the health service already delivers 30-40 million flu jabs per year.
They’re not going to be vaccinating the whole population though are they? I’d imagine the initial target this winter will be the same people as the flu jab; old and vulnerable.
I'm sure there will need to be increased testing prior to giving it to immune-suppressed patients?
If you have a reduced or suppressed immune system a traditional vaccine isn’t much use as your body can’t make the antibodies required. I’d imagine there’s scales to that.
Fair point; I was coming at it from the question of will it be safe but I take your point onboard. My B-in-L having Jeanette's kidney is on crazy strong, cancer causing, anti-rejection drugs, sadly dialysis now and is significantly immune-suppressed. His eldest is a bus driver and since March, he has only waved at him through the window! They just cannot risk it. It is driving him up the wall. His slot at the Dereford (Plymouth) is in the evening ending at midnight, 3-times a week. He was given that one as there are the least people about!
Reading up on it: Vaccines are very safe, side effects are very low
anyone notice there's quite a market for warning signs/labels, wipes, masks hand sanitiser etc. just been to euro car spares and they're selling/promoting all the above stuff as well
Is the vaccination a double dunter? I heard you need one, then another shortly after. (Sorry if it's been mentioned in the thread previously.)
Double dunt = double hitOne of them is. Don’t know about the other two.
PS Dunter? Is that a thick munter?

I guess like the Eskimos have hundreds of words for snow, Glaswegians have hundreds of words for punch.
Some handy Eskaleut vocab:
qanuk: ‘snowflake’
kaneq: ‘frost’
kanevvluk: ‘fine snow’
qanikcaq: ‘snow on ground’
muruaneq: ‘soft deep snow’
nutaryuk: ‘fresh snow’
pirta: ‘blizzard’
qengaruk: ‘snow bank’
