Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the results were "absolutely superb" and showed vaccines are "the way out of this pandemic" but he said the "on-going challenge" would be for vaccine manufacturers to keep up with what the virus is doing.
The Oxford and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, which have been given to more than 9.6 million people in the UK, were shown to be very good at preventing serious illness and death from Covid-19 in those given the jab in clinical trials.
It takes just under a year for virus's mutations to results in a completly new strain that requires a new vaccine. This is why we need a new vaccine every years. They just made the vaccine for covid '19' strain. It 20'21. We were always going to need more vaccines
First two UK variant sequences from London with E484K were released today. One had a collection date of January 6 (see interactive map - markers in black have a mutation at position 484 in Spike protein)
BBC news is like a stuck record, like a stuck record, repeats itself over and over and over again, it's like a stuck record, tonight, not enough to tell us about this, they send a BBC team to Portugal to repeat it over again, yet I keep watching😫😫😪😪
Pfizer say their vaccine will almost certainly work as is. The UK should never have purchased so many Non-RNA AZ vaccines given the open borders and infection rate. This is not a good news story, it's very bad and explains SA variant panic

Just a subtle way of saying that the current vaccine is useless against the new varient, but they will still be given to people anyway...
The government never had any organised public information about the vaccine and the pandemic , always falling asleep behind the wheel 🤨🤧😷☹️.
How can you keep injecting an already recognised virus into the body with hopes of generating new immunity?. Oxford is giving me a fking headache and is seriously undermining vaccine confidence with their dodgy studies and ‘modelled’ data
Sooner everyone's vaccinated the better. Too many stupid people about he don't get their inaction, ignorance, conspiracies have consequences for others.
What is the plan if you have received the Pfizer vaccine
So no we are on lockdown till Autumn, this is ridiculous.
More government spin to cover up their huge mistakes
Too late. That means we will never be out of lockdown.
people, stop being so cynical about lockdown, it will end.
So does this mean current jab is ineffective? If so can the people that have already been vaccinated get a booster later on to protect against other variants?
People by the end of 2021 🤣
That’s good news, but are ‘we’ still with our current ‘life style’ going to be playing catch up with further mutations by the time autumn is here ? Covid is proving to be a bigger problem now than when first ‘discovered’ ?
How convenient. So the pharmaceutical industry and those who relentlessly promote these dangerous and unnecessary products will continue to profit from billions paid for by the hapless taxpayer for evermore.
I’m not bothered if the restrictions aren’t lifted in March I’m opening my business, fine me all you want, it’s opening and I hope all the others do the same!!
Lockdown/wait for vaccine/get vaccine/new variant/Lockdown/ repeat ....
By Autumn cases and infections can alot higher and also putting more lives at risk!!

I bet U.K. will be the first country to have lost 0.2% of its population due to the pandemic. It will happen before the end of February. Quite a shame! The U.K. is shrinking because it still believes that Thatcher was right when she said “There is no such thing as a society.”
This is never ending. And we can’t stay locked forever. Every year we’ll need a new vaccine due to new variants. We have to start living again at some point
What about when its decided that another variant has 'appeared' in 6 months time? Will that be a 3rd year written off? COVID19 madness
It will not work if you are like us still wait for the first jab. As most 'so they say' most folk my age have had it. needless to say I am not considered most folk. Autumn it is then; back of the queue again.
Will this make all current vaccines useless....
Lockdown until autumn now then? Total shambles, soon as they create new vacancies they're new variants, the Italy variant spread around the world & it came directly out of China. There will be billions of variants by now & the winner will be vaccine, mask & lockdown resistant.
Recently, my friend's baby was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (blood cancer). My friend, Jason and his wife are first time parents and could use some help. If you are in a place to donate or share, it would be appreciated.
There will be more mutations by then, and surely they haven’t tested all the new strains that quick
AUTUMN?...Don't book any holidays then.
So will everyone already vaccinated AND to be vaccinated need to get the new vaccine? What will the priority be? And how quickly will it mutate again? Is this a snowball rolling down an endless slope?
Just in time for the new ones
Roll up Roll up get your Microchips here! 😷😷
This is never-ending, isn't it? Wouldn't it be easier to make Ivermectine and hydroxychloroquine widely available, apparently they have good results.
Lockdown till Autumn then?
Second round of jabs need to start around then anyway - nobody knows how long a jab actually lasts.
Autumn..................................................
Thank goodness for scientists.
🤔....so can you see the problem here?
Is that you getting the jab S1dTR0tt3r147
