Corona 19 vaccine developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca in the UKA new vaccine against coronavirus infection (Corona 19) developed by the University of Oxford in the UK and pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca could be approved for use on the 28th or 29th of this month, the UK’s Daily Telegraph reported on the 18th ( local time).
The newspaper cited senior UK government sources and said that if the University of Oxford submits final data for clinical trials on the 21st, the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) is expected to approve the use of the days 28 and 29.
The UK government plans to inoculate this vaccine on a large scale in football stadiums, racetracks and showrooms from the first week of January next year once the vaccine is approved for use.
Telegraph said: “Unlike the vaccine developed by Pfizer in the United States, the University of Oxford vaccine can be stored in a general refrigerator so it will be a ‘game changer’ (phase changer) because it is more easy to transport and inoculate. ” It will give confidence to the field.
He said that India had already produced 50 million doses of this vaccine.
The Korean government also signed a contract with AstraZeneca to supply 10 million people (20 million doses).
The UK approved Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for the first time in the world and began vaccinating it on the 8th. The Telegraph reported that 140,000 elderly and medical workers received the vaccine in the first week of vaccination (8-14 days).
The UK government predicts the total number of vaccinations will hit 500,000 this weekend as it expands vaccination sites. Also, next week, we set a goal of increasing the number of vaccinations per day to more than 200,000, so that the number of weekly vaccinations exceeds one million.
The newspaper said British government sources said that “if Oxford University’s use of the vaccine is approved, the number of weekly vaccinations will rise to millions” and predicted that next summer the entire population (about 68.05 million ) could get the vaccine.
The UK government has ordered 100 million doses of various types of vaccines, and the currently available vaccine is 4 million doses, Telegraph says.
