Some 530,000 doses of the vaccine became available across the UK from January 4, with vulnerable groups already identified as the priority for immunisation
On Monday, six NHS Trusts began administering the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine to vulnerable people. It followed months of trials in which 11,500 volunteers from the UK and Brazil received the vaccine, and which found it to be 70.4 per cent effective on average.
Dialysis patient Brian Pinker, 82, was the first person to receive his jab in the UK, at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust s Churchill Hospital, saying he was so pleased to be getting the Covid vaccine and really proud that it is one that was invented in Oxford .

WASHINGTON Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, can predict which women are at high risk of developing gestational diabetes and lead to earlier intervention, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society s
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Gestational diabetes is a common complication during pregnancy that affects up to 15 percent of pregnant women. High blood sugar in the mother can be dangerous for the baby and lead to complications like stillbirth and premature delivery. Most women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes during the second trimester, but some women are at high risk and could benefit from earlier intervention.
