A prominent British medical official revealed the period required to vaccinate all British citizens with the emerging coronavirus, produced by “Pfizer” and “Biontech”.
According to Sir Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust Research Group and a member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, it will take a year to vaccinate British citizens with the approved Covid-19 vaccine.
British network “Sky News” quoted Farrar as saying: “It will take UK citizens a full year to vaccinate 1000 centers, each feeding 500 people a day, for 5 days a week, without any interruption in supply and the delivery of the two-dose vaccine. ” “.
On December 8, British authorities, the largest vaccination campaign in its history, began distributing the emerging coronavirus vaccine produced by the US company “Pfizer” and the German company “Biontech”.
Britain has become the first country in the world to vaccinate its population with the vaccine, the clinical trials of which have proven to be more than 90 percent successful.
The British hope that this vaccination campaign will be the beginning of the end for the virus that has paralyzed life in the country on a large scale, after more than 1.7 million Britons were infected with “Covid 19”.
The British government bought 40 million doses, enough for about 20 million people, since the vaccine is given in two doses 3 weeks apart.
And the organizers of the vaccination campaign received two reports of “possible allergic reactions” from people who participated in the first day of the comprehensive vaccination program.
Dr John Raine, head of the UK Medical Regulatory Agency, reported on these reactions when he testified before a parliamentary committee on Wednesday.
“We are looking at two cases of allergy reports. We knew, through extensive clinical trials, that this was not a private matter,” Raine said.
And the health official added: “But if we need to strengthen our advice, now we have had this experience with vulnerable populations and groups that have been selected as a priority, and we are delivering this advice to the field immediately.”
Britain had a population of approximately 66 million in July 2020, according to the “CIA Factbook.”
