Has just introduced a control mechanism for companies producing vaccines tell us a little bit more about that if you want its a bit of a warning shot for other companies and pfizer of biotech is also a company that has suddenly confronted the u. S. Supply a problem so what the use is has introduced is a mechanism whereby companies a you can track now to what extent companies are exporting vaccines that are being produced inside the e. U. The u. S. Made clear today this is only an insurance policy they do not want to get involved into any sort of vaccine protectionism or to export bounce but it is clear that they are flexing their muscles to show those tech or from a suitable dions that they do mean business here. Georg not as in brussels for us thank you so much. The astra zeneca vaccine is one of 3 being used as part of britains vaccination drive the country has one of the highest death tolls in the world but as we have heard it is also making more progress than many other countries especially here in europe when it comes to inoculating its citizens the. Pill takes a closer look. This is the most advanced seen program in europe just like that this lady joins a the 7000000 people in the u. K. Weve received the 1st dose of the vaccine the u. K. Is on track to vaccinate some 15000000 people by the middle of february thats every one of the 70 care home residents in the clinically vulnerable as well as health and social can stuff. Of coffee to get it actually it was very nice that people were so friendly. When i was happy it was dead easy to book on line lots of appointments very efficient its a Great Program the government has undertaken and its extremely rarely organized the u. K. Started it fuck scene rollout in early december it was the 1st who approved both the pfizer biotech and off the astra zeneca vaccines its since set up over 1400. 00 sites with everything from cathedrals mosques and cinemas converted to roll out the scheme theres no doubt that the u. K. s Vaccination Program is impressive just tickle feets but this is just one side of the u. K. s 900 story well it might be leading the rest of europe in terms of the number of people being vaccinated it also has one of the highest death tolls in the world and thats a fact not lost on anybody here. Over 100000 people have died in the u. K. But in 28 days of a positive test thats more than the entire capacity of Londons Wembley football stadium. The emergence of a new more transmissible variant of the virus has further deepen the crisis it spread like wildfire across the country and left hospital struggling to cope numbers now harder than any other time weve got a journalist on demick so the system is under massive stress we have cast operations cancer treatments were running and she crosses looking after it was corona virus and it also is associated with such its this desperate race between the new variant and the vaccine shaping the u. K. s rollout strategy its opting to leave up to 12 weeks between doses deviating from this 3 week camp trials by pfizer by giving some immunity to the maximum number of people authorities hope to cut fatalities and reduce pressure on the health service. Professor rob it reads a member of the independent committee which approved the strategy under normal circumstances you must adhere to the regulated because all of our of these are not normal circumstances we have to bergson the age as many people as we can as quickly as we can and its our job. That by doing this my home. The career of that is that if we dont use this there will be considerable home through lost opportunity. But this strategy has its critics with some warning there isnt enough child data to support it all the u. K. Rolled out soft to a strong start this is a marathon not a sprint and potential hurdles still lay ahead but in a world where vaccine supply is becoming increasingly challenging those driving away today know that the lucky ones. There are some promising news on the vaccine front you ask drug maker nova vox says its vaccine in Development Provides robust protection against covered 19 a british trial of 15000 patients found the drug to be almost 90 percent effective the shot proved nearly as successful in preventing the u. K. Variant of the virus but the jab was only 50 percent effective against the new metate spreading in south africa. Now surges moscows is a very knowledgeable university in newcastle england welcome to d w server another vaccine the great news obviously what else can you tell us about the novaks shot. I think the nova shot itself is actually. Like in terms of associate with. It is actually requiring a lot less with the cost to the cost of transportation of storage so this is fantastic new years weve also literally out of the last hour of the johnson and johnson bus and trial runs out house comparable effect to the no box boxy the pfizer and. Seems critically just wants us a single shot faxing but there is also some moral summering news for people like myself and this guest thinks fox seems will all apparently work to keep us out of hospital of severe disease or death potentially. Against the current variant of the emerging variants. You couldnt possibly you know try and draw this if you wanted to out officially the j. J. Vaccine search 57 percent think the c i guess the variant arose from south africa. And the you know of us one showed 60 percent efficiency and they all work the same way if you look at this protein of the virus now what this means is sooner rather than later were going to need updates on these boxings because transmission is so prominent why the risk the virus may. Be able to overcome the spocks aids increases very very dramatically and we have to really start thinking of what we can do to prevent that from happening so so lets dive a little deeper into that because a lot of people been hearing about this new variant now for for quite some days should they essentially be worried that its only 50 or 60 percent as you put it effective against the variant. So in itself the vaccines will protect roughly 60 percent of people from these new variants from south africa and probably brazil as well as the 3 variants that the won the roses that your case that won the roses south africa the russian and brazil. The u. K. One is marked out of the other was actually more dangerous we know from studies that were just it done in germany that even with the original coronavirus the vaccines do not seem to protect from transmission so the virus will happily hop around i would get vaccinated by my son or my wife might get a virus from me if i get exposed to it and that gives the fire stupid tuna to to evolve resist stuff how we do it a lot so if not the petri dishes become the whole planet as you can imagine the risk of that happening so a lot higher and so many of us. Are actually saying you know what we really need to start thinking like with thinking exactly a year ago we need to back down the hatches and stop the transmission as fast as possible because otherwise we will have another pandemic inside another pandemic abuts not where we want to be in the next few weeks understood sir guess moscows ryall are just at North University in newcastle england appreciate your time you are welcome heres a look at some other developments in the pandemic the makers of russias sputnik v vaccine say they can provide 100000000 doses to the e.
