[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 1049894, member: 58362"] Sorry for the weird bump, but I just read an article that pertains to this, so dug it up. Does the article say which vaccines are being sent back? If it's AZ, it's understandable - most people yet to receive a dose can't be given it. Apparently the UK backed 8 horses (different vaccines) at the outset. 5 are still stuck in the stalls, one (Moderna) is limping towards the first fence, one (AZ) got off to a flyer, but soon started blowing up; rather than trading out and moving their money onto the runner on the bridle (Pfizer) our government did nothing. Of the original order of 40m doses of Pfizer, 20m have been administered as first doses, meaning the remainder of stocks will be needed to provide the second dose to those who have received their first. While our government were twiddling their thumbs, the EU placed an order for 600m Pfizer, before the government eventually ordered 60m for use in the autumn. All of this means that until Moderna gets up an running properly or one of the horses stuck in the stalls gets moving, how are we meant to vaccinate anyone under 40? If any of you bump into Boris, maybe you could ask if our vaccine programme is still a massive success. Germany are currently vaccinating 12-17 year olds while in 6 weeks time, ours will be condemned to play Russian roulette with long covid bullets in the chamber and will pour petrol on the embers of the pingdemic fire.
