An NHS doctor claimed that patients refused the American / German Pfizer BioNTech injection to wait for the English instead.
Dr Paul Williams, who is also the former Labor MP for Stockton South, claimed: ‘Some local patients turned down an offer to get a Covid vaccine over the weekend when they found out it was the Pfizer. is. “I will wait for the English.” ‘
‘People at risk of dying in the depths of a pandemic. A lesson that nationalism has consequences, ‘he said according to a Metro reported from Thursday.
The most important phase of vaccinations in the UK include the elderly, residents of care homes, front-line medical staff and care staff and those with serious medical conditions.
The GP later made it clear that vulnerable “nationalists” who refuse the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will not be removed from the priority list, but that they will have to wait until the AstraZeneca vaccine is available in their area. The AstraZeneca product was developed in partnership with the University of Oxford and was approved for use in the UK on 30 December, launching to the public on 4 January.
The British government was the first in the Western world to clear a coronavirus vaccine – the Pfizer shot – for public use, and it was launched in December. While the German-American vaccine costs £ 15 per dose and must be kept at -70 degrees Celsius, the vaccination made by the British costs as little as £ 2 to £ 3 and can be stored in a regular fridge.

The British government announced on Friday that a third vaccine had also been approved by Moderna. To date, 1.5 million Britons have been vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca product. The government has ordered about 157 million doses, 100 million from Oxford, 40 million from Pfizer and 17 million from Moderna. Trial stages for products by Janssen, GSK / Sanofi, Novavax and Valneva are still ongoing, according to Guido Fawkes.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson made the successful and widespread introduction of vaccinations on Monday a condition for lifting England’s exclusion, along with a declining number of cases of Chinese coronavirus. The Tory leader did not want to commit to an end date of the third exclusion in ten months, which would give a soft date of mid-February, ‘but only if it goes well’.
The next day, Senior Minister Michael Gove moved the date back to an unspecified day in March, with the bill passed as law on Wednesday, March 31, calling for its expiration.
Earlier this month, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, deputy chief medical officer, said that not being vaccinated would mean the end of social distance and that the form of restrictions would remain for months.
