An NHS doctor claimed that patients are refusing the American / German injection Pfizer-BioNTech to “wait for the English woman”.
Dr. Paul Williams, who is also the former Labor MP for Stockton South, said: “Some local patients declined an offer this weekend to get a Covid vaccine when they found out it was Pfizer. ‘I will wait for the Englishman.’ “
“People at risk of death at the height of a pandemic. A lesson that nationalism has consequences, ”he said, according to a Subway Thursday report.
The UK’s priority vaccination phase includes the elderly, residents of nursing homes, first-rate medical and care teams and people with serious medical conditions.
Subsequently, the GP clarified that vulnerable “nationalists” who refuse the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine would not be removed from the priority list, only that they would have to wait for the AstraZeneca vaccine to be available in their area. The AstraZeneca product was developed in partnership with the University of Oxford and was approved for use in the United Kingdom on December 30, with a rollout to the public from January 4.
The British government was the first in the western world to release a coronavirus vaccine – the Pfizer vaccine – for public use and they began to be administered in December. While the German-American vaccine costs £ 15 a dose and needs to be kept at -70 degrees Celsius, the British vaccination costs £ 2 to £ 3 and can be kept in a regular refrigerator.

The British government announced on Friday that a third vaccine from Moderna also received approval. So far, 1.5 million Britons have been vaccinated with the product Pfizer-BioNTech or Oxford-AstraZeneca. The government has ordered about 157 million doses, 100 million from Oxford, 40 million from Pfizer and 17 million from Moderna. The testing phases of Janssen, GSK / Sanofi, Novavax and Valneva products are still in progress, according to Guido Fawkes.
On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson made the successful and widespread launch of vaccines a condition for lifting the blockade from England, along with the drop in the number of Chinese coronavirus cases. The conservative leader would not commit to an end date for the third blockade in ten months, giving a soft date for some time in mid-February, “but only if things go well.”
The next day, Minister Michael Gove postponed that date to an unspecified day in March, with the bill passed on Wednesday naming March 31 as his due date – meaning that the blockade could last for almost three months.
Earlier this month, deputy medical director Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said that getting vaccinated would not mean an end to social detachment and that some form of restriction would remain in place for months.
