Which Mobility Car

    In September The UK joined COVAX, this is the procurement and equality of distribution programme.

    If I am not mistaken from my reading this means that we will only get enough Vaccines to immunise 20% of our population. We will only get more when all the other 76 countries involved have received their 20%

    So if we get enough for 20% of our population (at 67m) thats around 13.4 million people, 2 vaccines each is 26.8 million vaccines.

    I hate to be cynical but if we are using these to give people their first jab there is no guarantee that we will have access to more when people need their second, particularly as it is being suggested from Israel that the Pfizer jab is only 33% effective after 14 days of the first jab.

    I am becoming a little concerned.
