Good news for a change.

Delighted to hear, this morning, that the Pfizer Covid vaccine has been approved for 'roll out'.

I know we're not out of the woods yet.....But this news hopefully means that folk will be able to get back to some sort of normality, sooner rather than later.

No Idea, none of us on the forum would be classed as "normal"

But it is excellent news.

The beginning of the end!

Yep, good news indeed, but we'll still need to wear masks, maintain social distancing etc for quite sometime from what I've read. At least by Spring 2021 we might be able to have some sort of normal social interaction back, which will be nice. Our son is fourth on the list for the jab, whilst I'm down in eighth, with my wife and daughter having to wait quite sometime to find out when they will get theirs.

No the end of the beginning (Well I dont quote WSC to often)

I would be willing to pay for a jab privately.  I half expct thats what my emploer may do as they have been paying for private tests

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Hope he does for you. I intend taking the first offer. I suspect that I'm fairly high priority due to the type 2 diabetes and being ancient (not that I feel at all ill, or old !)

I have type 2 as well, but would want both of us to be vaccinated

Pretty sure that's not going to happen. Govt. doesn't want all the rich people hogging the vaccine. Looks bad apparently.

Well...I am....and so's my Mongolian attack squirrel, Oswald.

IIRC the vaccine is only available via the NHS, according to a BBC news report from the past day or so.
