Sylvia and David, right? You just have to sit here and wait a moment. ”
At noon on the 8th (local time), Guy’s and St. Thomas Foundation Hospital in central London, England. Volunteers guided an 80-year-old elderly couple to their seats. “I am lucky to receive the vaccine on the first day. It is a great honor and duty. “Approximately 10 people were waiting at the vaccination center for the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) on the first floor of the hospital. Most of them are elderly people who are supported by a guardian or depend on a cane. On one side of the center, consultation desks surrounded by simple blue walls with the National Health Service (NHS) logo were placed. An elderly patient shortly before receiving an injection, wearing a mask, was listening to the explanation of the medical staff.

Guys Hospital is one of seven London hospitals administering a vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer in the United States and Bioentech in Germany. In the early morning of this day, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited this place in person during the impressive schedule of the Brexit negotiations and encouraged Lynn Wheeler, 81, to the first hospital inoculation. An official from the Geis Hospital explained: “I am having a very busy day since dawn” and “Today I do not respond to the official interview.” Vaccination developed slowly and without confusion thanks to the selection and notification of the main vaccination targets (nursing home residents, nursing home workers, people over 80 years of age, etc.) among patients already attending Geis Hospital.
Another vaccination center, Croydon University Hospital in south London, was similar. The Pfizer vaccine produced in Belgium on the 5th was the first hospital to arrive. In this hospital, where the vaccine was kept and prepared for vaccination, we were able to meet the elderly who came for vaccination from early in the morning. Following the blue line on the floor in front of the main hospital entrance, the vaccination center appeared. By dividing the reservation time in detail, there are no more than 20 visitors at a time. Volunteers, medical staff and patients were busy conducting the ‘Vaccination Operation of the Century’ without chaos.

Vaccination centers have been in operation in 70 hospitals across the UK since that day. The first dose of Pfizer’s vaccine, 800,000 doses (400,000 people given twice each), takes priority in the group most vulnerable to Corona 19. As soon as additional production vaccines arrive, vaccination sites will expand to thousands of health centers, pharmacies, sports facilities and exhibition facilities. The goal of the UK health authorities is ambitious. It’s a schedule to vaccinate almost the entire UK adult population (around 50 million people) over the age of 16, marking the end of the war in Corona 19 next summer.

Will Corona 19 be ‘the beginning of the end’?
The British media reported on the news about vaccination from the early hours of 8 to 9, saying: “Medical science is a historic moment for humanity.” It was also named ‘Good News Day’, which is contrary to the dark news that continued throughout the year. British health officials were the first in the world to approve the emergency use of Pfizer’s vaccine on Day 2, and in less than a week, the drug was off to a fast start. Russia has been vaccinating the self-developed Sputnik 5 vaccine since 5, but this is the first large-scale vaccination in the world that meets Western medical and clinical standards.

The reaction of the British people is generally positive. There are many reactions on social media, saying “I can see the end of the war with Corona 19” and “I am proud.” Those who received the vaccine on the first day said: “It is an obligation and an honor” and “I hope to return to your normal routine next year.” From the vaccination, hope was seen and there were reports of an increase in bookings for next summer’s vacation plans.
The British media emphasized that the UK was at the forefront of the war against Corona 19 by initiating the world’s first vaccine administration, while reports continued to deny the “ possibility of the risk of pre-approved vaccines ” spreading. online. Margaret Keenan, 90, who finished vaccination at 6:31 am at Coventry University Hospital on the morning of the 8th, and was registered as ‘the world’s first vaccinator’. Bill Shakespeare (81), like Shakespeare, was projected as “brilliant” news.
British Health Minister Matt Hancock appeared on the BBC and said: “A lot of people have had a difficult day so far, and now we have finally found a way to get through Corona 19.” “It is the largest vaccination project in the history of the UK,” said Simon Stevens, executive director of the NHS.
UK, has a lot of experience with mass vaccination
Pfizer’s start of vaccination is sure to be a significant turning point in the war against COVID-19, but there are great mountains to overcome before serial vaccination ends in victory. The UK NHS is aware of large-scale vaccines, such as the influenza vaccine being administered to 30 million people before this winter. However, in terms of scale, this campaign is assessed as a level of difficulty that the NHS has not experienced. Pfizer vaccine must be stored below -70 degrees Celsius and the storage period after fusion is short (5 days), which makes it difficult to disperse the vaccines in various places. It is not yet clear when and how to administer a total of 40 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine at various locations.
In addition, the approval of the AstraZeneca-Oxford University vaccine and the timing of vaccination are also variable. The UK plans to secure 100 million doses of the vaccine and inoculate 50 million people, but approval is being delayed.
It is currently unknown how long immunity will be maintained after vaccination. Whether vaccines can transmit the virus to unvaccinated people can only be determined in the future. “Vaccination has started in the UK, but measures to prevent the spread continue,” Patrick Balan, senior scientific adviser to the UK government, told the Telegraph. “You may have to keep wearing a mask next winter.”
In the UK, as of day 8, the number of new cases increased by 12,822, reaching 1.75 million, 241. The number of Corona 19-related deaths (death within 28 days of diagnosis) was 73,125 to this day.
