Another New Vaccine - Single Dose This Time
24 Answers
Worth reading all of this, rather than the garbled headlines produced by sundry scientifically-illiterate journalists. It really is a very encouraging report :

In particular I think that this is very good news :
" Efficacy against severe disease increased over time with no (severe) cases in vaccinated participants reported after day 49 "

Yes it is good news
day 50 I regard as late
you should be seeing an effect around day 7 - 10
https:/
The graph of page 12 gives you some idea how good these vaccines can be ( no one infected after day 7)

// The Ireland Act 1949 changed this to "Republic of Ireland". It was not until after the 1998 Good Friday Agreement that the UK government accepted the preferred name of simply "Ireland", at the same time as Ireland dropped its territorial claim over Northern Ireland.//

OK - I'll bite with the deviation :
The UK appears to be about to get more of Astra's vaccine over the next few weeks than an equitable spread across the various contracts would indicate - most of Astra's shortfall is being taken from the EU contract with the UK getting pretty much what it has ordered.
You'd have to be quite naive not to assume that the UK has indulged in some arm-twisting to ensure that outcome.
From a reputable EU broadcaster - note especially the last two paragraphs :
"The European Commission hopes to produce a mechanism by the end of this week which would register all Covid-19 vaccines manufactured in Europe and exported to non-EU countries.
This follows the escalating row between the EU and AstraZeneca over a shortfall of up to 60% in the amount due to be delivered to European capitals in the first quarter, once the vaccine is authorised, as expected, on Friday.
Although the commission has not spelled it out, the suspicion among officials is that none of AstraZeneca's other customers, notably the UK, suffered any big drop in supply.
The commission said the transparency mechanism is not about blocking exports of vaccines, but about knowing who is getting what"

1. Approved by the EMA (EU) this afternoon.
2. Nope - the EU expects transparency in supply and that any pain will be spread evenly - and will take action to achieve that.
PS : I grinds my gears to say it, but the UK has actually done better than Ireland at getting jabs in arms - but then after failing at just about every other initiative, I suppose the odds were that they'd get one right eventually!
