Asked about whether the 800,000 doses the UK is expecting in the coming days will arrive by next week, Mr Sharma told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We will have - I'm absolutely confident - that we will have 800,000 doses available at the point next week when we start the vaccination programme.
Elderly people in care homes and care home staff have been placed top of the priority list - which is recommended by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation - followed by over-80s and frontline health and care staff. He said the first batch arrived on Thursday via the Eurotunnel and they were then transported to a storage facility.
A must watch
Don't you think you should be asking the Govt if they are as 'confident' the vaccine for a virus with a 99.8% survival is also guaranteed NOT to render anybody who receives it infertile? It really is a simple question.
With all the smoke and mirrors and Ministers unwilling to adequately respond to simple questions, trust and confidence is low. They have only themselves to blame.
No thanks for you criminal strategies 👎
well most people are going to have a lonnnnng wait as there are 70 million+ population !!
Love how the people here think they know more about vaccines than the people who bloody make them.
😂 they actually think 800,000 will take it? Well that will be 400,000 because you need two doses So they actually think 400,000 will take it 😂
What happened to the 36million just a few weeks ago?
Vaccine for what? CDC and even NHS website says virus was never isolated. So what exactly is being addressed by these phony vaccines that usually take 10.5 years to make and still dont pass basic safety tests?
Watch it not happen
Danger.
All your scientific frauds at Public Health England, DHSC, Gov't Office for Science, etc and medical advisors who've been terrorizing the public over their imaginary virus, belong in jail for a very, very long time.
They don't need one for me. Not a chance.
Is it me or does this change by the hour
Here’s hoping 🤞
We are receiving reports - unanswered questions - left, right & centre - about: 1.) fertility implications 2.) breast-feeding & pregnancy 3.) autoimmune response risks 4.) carcinogenicity (cancer risks) THIS SHD NOT GO AHEAD.
No thanks..😃
Get those old arms ready.
Let’s get as many as we can before they end up jammed in border controls come 1st Jan.
They need to be kept at -70c, that's a 3 wheeled car, just wait for a proper vaccine
Bill Gates said the overpopulation will be a disaster.... And we have to know ths covid is a virus which developed in laboratories. In France, the majority of people don't want get vaccinated, because there are something abnormal about the covid health crisis
Vaccines don't stop mutating viruses clowns.
We’ve already got it dipstick.
Boring.
So not the 2.5 million as promised? 🙄
Wait till next week and the Tories will back peddle.
Why has Dr Fauci and the EU, expressed concerns that Brits have not jumped through all the data hoops. To busy wanting to be the 1st country to give the vaccine the okay. British exceptionalism..and we have fuck all to be 'great' about..except the multitude of uneducated people.
Yes but are they “confident” they will have the 2nd dose available in 21 days or are they just using SmokeAndMirrors ........
Here we go... basically it means they've fucked it up already...
Where is it going first? let me have a guess.. it’s not Leicester or Bradford or another tier 3 location. I wonder if it’s going to be tier 2 London that is first!
But have they found 800,000 people willing to take it.
When you see those words, does your stomach sink, a feeling of hopelessness engulfing you. .. Wait a mo, will have ! what's that mean, in a deep freeze somewhere ? If so makes no difference where it is . Sounds like a government sound bite, sounds good means little, as per norm.
The English govt is just a club of serial liars. Anyone who believes them needs their head examined.
Gov next week: 'We have zero vaccines but the capacity to have 800,000'
We are in the hands of complete psychopaths who want to vaccinate healthy people.
BBCPolitics It’s ok they are sailing on the ferries Chris Grayling organised !
I’ll expect my jab in 2025 then..... maybe....
night We can oly hope they do just so that it stops the whiny BBC reporters from foaming at the mouth.
I’m glad we aren’t like the US. 🤯
BBCPolitics Line up all the politicians to take it going in parliament and give the old unemployed woman that stays in a castle it first.Seeing as she shoot's thunder bolt's out her arse.She definitely need's it👍
We heard that about test and trace and the antibody tests to check if you’d had Covid the later has never appeared!
But none in Hull and East Yorkshire. It’s despicable.
THERE IS STILL TIME TO GET SAVED!
Pls report us how to vaccinate under 17 yrs old children. Especially in how babies protect their life and families 🙁
I think this past year has taught us that when the government is confident it’s kinda like me being confident I’ll one day marry Holly Willoughby JohnsonMustGo
Sure and the weird thing is no NHS getting the vaccine., now they starting at the care homes, tell me why. Is the cleaning up starting now disgraceful. So I hope the PM start with his parents, they are belonging to the elderly group. NO
So the first batch is here but still no word from Welsh government about who will be given it or when!! BBCWalesNews MarkDrakeford vaughangething I suppose we will wait to see what happens in England, Scotland and NI before any plans are discussed.

Just another 54m to go...
To vaccinate 1 person it needs 2 doses. Therefore this is enough for 400,000 people and NOT 800,000 people. The BBC spreading disinformation again.
'absolutely confident' that's us fucked then.
So we won't then. Or they'll find a way to fudge the numbers somehow. Maybe include flu vaccines. Also are half of those reserved for peoples 2nd dose in a months time? Or are they assuming there won't be any delays right after the transition period ends?
So is that for 400,000 people as is a 2 dose process
I know the Chancellor gets to shuffle money about but really, into off shore accounts!
Dart boards at the ready 🎯
Should re-brand this, coming to a town near you..... Pfizer vaccine
BUT BUT..... Why do we need a vaccine? The numbers don't support the evidence.
Nailed on that we won't then
800,000 Depopulation shots. Remember how everything was attributed to Covid? Watch how NOTHING will be attributed to the vaccine.
Thats going to be an awful waste of experimental vaccine
That’s a cast iron guarantee we won’t have 800000 by next week then
good luck
Oxford AstraZeneca's vaccine ?
Thanks 🙏
The poison start
On a scale of 70-95%...HOW confident...?🤔
