Two, don't you have a television?  Anyone who doesn't know both the Pfizer and the Oxford vaccines need two doses mush have had their head up their fundamental orifice for the last few weeks.

Oh right, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Hey brains how many doses of Pfizer do you need, didn't anyone mention it?

The Oxford team have been totally open from day one,  and it won't be the first time or the last  that scientific advances are made because of a mistake.
The only people trying to rubbish the Oxford vaccine are those who don't like two doses of it will only cost £5 and it will be logistically far easier to deliver  to every GP practice.

Penicillin was reputedly the result of Alexander Fleming leaving unwashed petri dishes and going on vacation in 1928.
But it wasn't until 1941 a 43-year old policeman, Albert Alexander, became the first recipient of the Oxford-developed penicillin — he had scratched the side of his mouth while pruning roses, and had developed a life-threatening infection with huge abscesses affecting his eyes, face, and lungs.
Penicillin was injected and within days he made a remarkable recovery.
But supplies of the drug ran out and he died a few days later.
Fingers crossed for Oxford-AstraZeneca...

Why are you supporting a vaccine where it's been claimed a mistake in trial dosing has raised its effectiveness to the levels of others?

I am about the 14 millionth in the queue for a vaccination, unless the Oxford vaccine is approved in the next few days.

Why are you supporting a vaccine where it's been claimed a mistake in trial dosing has raised its effectiveness to the levels of others?

The vaccine developed by the University of Oxford, UK, and pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca was found to be, on average, 70% effective in a preliminary analysis of phase III trial data, the developers announced in a press release on 23 November.
But the analysis found a striking difference in efficacy depending on the amount of vaccine delivered to a participant. A regimen consisting of 2 full doses given a month apart seemed to be just 62% effective. But, surprisingly, participants who received a lower amount of the vaccine in the first dose and then the full amount in the second dose were 90% less likely to develop COVID-19 than were participants in the placebo arm.

Nevertheless, you'll probably get your choice of vaccine — if predicted delivery problems can be overcome:

Even with a question mark hanging over its efficacy [....] Oxford–AstraZeneca
estimates that it will have 200 million doses [of its vaccine] ready worldwide by the end of 2020

Thanks.
Tomorrow we will know when the first vaccinations are due to take place.

Sorry that doesn't seem to be working my end. Try this

They are all denying it like mad but.....

I intended to spend more time in England. There is a lot to see.

It is far too expensive for me to holiday in Britain.

The EU will require Covid-19 vaccination certificates. As will airlines and ferry companies.

Of course, Spain and Italy will miss the income from tourism, but if you can't see the agenda now, you're blind as a mole.

Well it was only a matter of time I guess. The dear old NHS not satisfied with their data banks now will issue each of the vaccinated with their own little card with instructions to keep it on you at all times.

Having denied that vaccine will be compulsory they now facilitate those who wish to deny entry, participation etc to those unvaccinated. It's a strange new world. Are we about to lose our freedoms and rights for ever? Or will this just be a temporary affront? I spy the thin edge of a wedge.

well, you don't want to go pissing off your friends in the EU then smurfy, so you had better get one.

[papasmurf]

NO, they are simply looking at.
