Coronavirus UK: NHS hospitals 'may get Pfizer vaccine on 7 December'


This vaccine, which reported early results suggesting the jab is 95 per cent effective, needs to be stored at extremely low temperatures. The Guardian also reported the Pfizer vaccine will be given to NHS staff first due to its short shelf life and the logistical difficulties transporting the jab. The UK has ordered 40 million doses of the Pfizer jab and expects 10 million doses by the end of the year. Oxford's trial results this week suggested the vaccine is somewhere between 62 and 90 per cent effective, depending on the dosage people are given.
