      Also, the vaccine comes in batches of 975, and as I understand it, they’ve not yet got approval to split them down.

        I'd previously read it was 1,000.

        So the NHS should have been using that information in their vaccination strategy.

        And working out how how on earth they're going to organise second jabs to various hospital patients who've been subject of various 'first vaccinations' PR exercises.

        And how did they find all those spare staff to line their corridors clapping?

        She's the youngest looking 91 year old I've seen in a long time.

        Our nurses are the first to get it and other first liners.

          And I think they are going a bit careful as they dont want to waste any.

          I heard something on the news, might have heard it wrong, but they said after thawing out it has to be reconstituted :scratch:, (whatever they mean by that), I assume they then have the five days to use it all before it becomes sour milk.;)

            I’m not sure, but I think it doesn’t actually arrive in syringes, ready to use. I’m assuming the active ingredient has to be added to something else? Dunno.

                    I think, but I'm not sure, that it's added to a sterilsed Saline solution.:scratch:
