Once delivered, it should allow us to increase the number of people we vaccinate by an extra c.10k per week" It's a 2 dose vaccine and we are getting circa 880k doses. We're getting 2.2 million of the Pfizer one iirc. Next one likely is CureVac, 2 doses again but storage in Fridge: 2°C to 8°C, Ireland will/should get 2.475 million, approval expected February 2021

ACitizenErased wrote: » Phase trials are for safety and efficacy, that's exactly what they are for. EMA has already received the phase data. They're looking for quality data IE the manufacturing data. I'm not gonna keep bickering because it's quite clear no matter what fact I say you'll say the opposite.
