COVID-19: Vaccine. Bosses have addressed why people aged under 40 may be getting a vaccine jab across Trafford – despite not being a key worker or having underlying health conditions. Concerns were raised by residents after people outside the highest priority groups were given the Covid-19 vaccine in Hale this week. Primary care bosses said they are offering the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to those outside the highest vulnerability cohorts to make sure stocks of the jab are used up before they expire and need to be thrown out. The difficult storage conditions necessary particularly for the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus jab means it has a ‘limited shelf life’ and needs to be used within around five days of being taken out of a freezer.
