thedailymirror--2020-12-30--24m Brits to have vaccine 'by Easter' with second dose now up to 12 weeks later

A second dose of one of the approved Covid vaccines in the UK may now be given up to 12 weeks after the first dose .
The four UK Chief Medical Officers said prioritising the first doses for as many people as possible on the priority list will protect the greatest number of at risk people overall in the shortest possible time .
The makers of the Oxford University/ AstraZeneca jab aim to deliver 2 million doses a week - meaning 24 million people in the UK could be vaccinated by Easter .
For both the Oxford and Pfizer coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes when a second dose is administered , both offer considerable immunity after a single dose , at least in the short term .
A second dose completes the course and is likely to be important for longer term protection , joint clinical advice from the four UK Chief Medical Officers says .
Partial immunity should be achieved 22 days after the first dose of the vaccine , experts believe .
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation ( JCVI ) has recommended that as many people on the JCVI priority list as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dose as the initial priority .
They have advised that the second dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine may be given between 3 to 12 weeks following the first dose , and that the second dose of the AstraZeneca ( Oxford ) vaccine may be given between 4 to 12 weeks following the first dose .
The UK has ordered enough of the Oxford jab for 50million people , on top of enough of the Pfizer jab for 20million people .
Mr Hancock said the most vulnerable in the first phase , including all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Spring '' .
If the aim of 2million vaccinations a week is fulfilled , 24 million could have had the jab by Easter .
AstraZeneca chief executive Pascal Soriot told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme deliveries will be ramped up `` very rapidly '' in the first and second week of January .
He added : `` The vaccination will start next week and we will get to one million a week and beyond that very rapidly .
`` We can go to two million .
In January we will already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the end of the first quarter we are going to be in the tens of millions already . ''
Asked whether two million vaccinations per week was possible , Mr Hancock told Times Radio : `` That 's absolutely deliverable by the NHS . ''
The clinical risk priority order for deployment of the vaccines remains unchanged and applies to both vaccines .
A statement from the UK 's four Chief Medical Officers said : `` [ We ] agree with JCVI that at this stage of the pandemic prioritising the first @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as possible on the priority list will protect the greatest number of at risk people overall in the shortest possible time and will have the greatest impact on reducing mortality , severe disease and hospitalisations and in protecting the NHS and equivalent health services .
`` Operationally this will mean that second doses of both vaccines will be administered towards the end of the recommended vaccine dosing schedule of 12 weeks .
`` This will maximise the number of people getting vaccine and therefore receiving protection in the next 12 weeks . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the MHRA , Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed , Chair of Commission on Human Medicine Expert Working Group , and Professor Wei Shen Lim , Chair of JCVI , have held a press briefing to discuss this morning ’ s announcement that the Oxford University/Astra Zeneca Covid-19 vaccine has been approved for use by the UK .
Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed , chairman of the Commission on Human Medicines expert working group on Covid-19 vaccines , said : `` What we are approving is that two standard doses should be given .
They should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ four to 12 weeks .
`` We also looked at the half-dose regimen , which has been publicised quite widely , but we felt that the results were not borne out by the full analysis .
`` We 've come to the decision of an interval of between four to 12 weeks , based on the data that was presented to us .
`` Because of the design of the trial , some people got second doses at different time intervals .
This allowed an analysis of the effectiveness of the vaccine if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between four to 12 weeks .
`` This showed that the effectiveness was high , up to 80 % , when there was a three-month interval between the first and second doses , which is the reason for our recommendation . ''
Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed , chairman of the Commission on Human Medicines expert working group on Covid-19 vaccines , said the commission looked at data in all age groups , particularly in the elderly .
He said : `` It is important to note that the vaccine does not protect immediately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ day 22 before you get partial immunity after the first dose and so it is really important that people continue to follow all the government guidelines for your area of the country .
`` We obviously also looked at the safety as well and the Commission on Human Medicines concluded that the safety profile of this vaccine is broadly similar to other vaccines . ''
Dr Raine , chief executive of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency , also said the dose interval for the Pfizer vaccine has been increased from 21 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ least 21 days .
She added : `` So this allows for a potentially longer interval , compared with the previous advice that was 21 days .
`` And the conditions for use of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine stress that this is in accordance with national guidance . ''
When questioned about the efficacy of the vaccines , Professor Wei Shen Lim , chairman of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation , told a Downing Street briefing : `` The data shared with us - and I 'm not sure it is entirely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine efficacy between day 22 of dose one to the time of dose two being given , and the figure is around 70 % , but I do n't think I should be revealing any more than that . ''
Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed said : `` With regard to protection after the first dose , from the data that was given to us , protection starts after day 22 after the first dose .
`` We were able to identify data which suggested that the protection is afforded till at least three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the interval dosing of between four to 12 weeks for the second dose . ''

AstraZeneca chief executive Pascal Soriot told BBC Radio 4's Today programme deliveries will be ramped up "very rapidly" in the first and second week of January.
He added: "The vaccination will start next week and we will get to one million a week and beyond that very rapidly.
"We can go to two million. In January we will already possibly be vaccinating several million people and by the end of the first quarter we are going to be in the tens of millions already."
Asked whether two million vaccinations per week was possible, Mr Hancock told Times Radio: "That's absolutely deliverable by the NHS."
The clinical risk priority order for deployment of the vaccines remains unchanged and applies to both vaccines.

A statement from the UK's four Chief Medical Officers said: "[We] agree with JCVI that at this stage of the pandemic prioritising the first doses of vaccine for as many people as possible on the priority list will protect the greatest number of at risk people overall in the shortest possible time and will have the greatest impact on reducing mortality, severe disease and hospitalisations and in protecting the NHS and equivalent health services.
"Operationally this will mean that second doses of both vaccines will be administered towards the end of the recommended vaccine dosing schedule of 12 weeks.
"This will maximise the number of people getting vaccine and therefore receiving protection in the next 12 weeks."
Dr June Raine, Chief Executive of the MHRA, Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed, Chair of Commission on Human Medicine Expert Working Group, and Professor Wei Shen Lim, Chair of JCVI, have held a press briefing to discuss this morning’s announcement that the Oxford University/Astra Zeneca Covid-19 vaccine has been approved for use by the UK.
Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed, chairman of the Commission on Human Medicines expert working group on Covid-19 vaccines, said: "What we are approving is that two standard doses should be given. They should be given at an interval of between four to 12 weeks.
"We also looked at the half-dose regimen, which has been publicised quite widely, but we felt that the results were not borne out by the full analysis.
"We've come to the decision of an interval of between four to 12 weeks, based on the data that was presented to us.

"Because of the design of the trial, some people got second doses at different time intervals. This allowed an analysis of the effectiveness of the vaccine if you were to be able to delay between four to 12 weeks.
"This showed that the effectiveness was high, up to 80%, when there was a three-month interval between the first and second doses, which is the reason for our recommendation."
Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed, chairman of the Commission on Human Medicines expert working group on Covid-19 vaccines, said the commission looked at data in all age groups, particularly in the elderly.
He said: "It is important to note that the vaccine does not protect immediately.
"You have to wait until day 22 before you get partial immunity after the first dose and so it is really important that people continue to follow all the government guidelines for your area of the country.
"We obviously also looked at the safety as well and the Commission on Human Medicines concluded that the safety profile of this vaccine is broadly similar to other vaccines."
Dr Raine, chief executive of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, also said the dose interval for the Pfizer vaccine has been increased from 21 days after the first dose to at least 21 days.
She added: "So this allows for a potentially longer interval, compared with the previous advice that was 21 days.
"And the conditions for use of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine stress that this is in accordance with national guidance."
When questioned about the efficacy of the vaccines, Professor Wei Shen Lim, chairman of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, told a Downing Street briefing: "The data shared with us - and I'm not sure it is entirely in the public domain - calculated the vaccine efficacy between day 22 of dose one to the time of dose two being given, and the figure is around 70%, but I don't think I should be revealing any more than that."
Professor Sir Munir Pirmohamed said: "With regard to protection after the first dose, from the data that was given to us, protection starts after day 22 after the first dose.
"We were able to identify data which suggested that the protection is afforded till at least three months, and hence the reason for the interval dosing of between four to 12 weeks for the second dose."

Large parts of the North and Midlands joined London and the South East , while every area previously in Tier 2 was moved to Tier 3 .
Only the Isles of Scilly will be in Tier 1 come Thursday morning , with no areas in Tier 2 , so bars and pubs across the land will have to be closed to customers .
Martin Hewitt , chair of the National Police Chiefs ’ Council , said he was confident that the majority of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ Large gatherings and parties should not be happening , ” he added .

Police, scientists and Boris Johnson are among those urging people to refrain from hosting and attending parties on New Year's Eve as much of the UK was thrust into higher tiers
New Year’s Eve parties ‘should not be happening’ as millions plunged into tougher tiers
People planning to celebrate New Year's Eve have been warned they must leave the parties for later next year as "Covid loves a crowd".
The police have warned flouters could face fines of up to £10,000 with officers to be paying particularly close attention to areas experiencing the biggest infection surges.
It comes as Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced that 20 million people would be plunged into Tier 4 from midnight yesterday.
A total of 44 million people, or 78 percent of the population of England, will be living under the country's toughest restrictions from Thursday as the whole of the UK battles a winter surge.

Large parts of the North and Midlands joined London and the South East, while every area previously in Tier 2 was moved to Tier 3.
Only the Isles of Scilly will be in Tier 1 come Thursday morning, with no areas in Tier 2, so bars and pubs across the land will have to be closed to customers.
Martin Hewitt, chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council, said he was confident that the majority of people would respect the rules for their area.
“Large gatherings and parties should not be happening,” he added. “We ask anyone thinking of attending or organising one not to."

Professor Stephen Powis, NHS England's national medical director, said staying at home and seeing in 2021 "within the rules" will reduce infections and relieve pressure on hospitals.
He told a Downing Street press conference: "We know it's the end of the year, it's a time where people traditionally want to celebrate.
"But it's absolutely vital that this year, everybody continues to follow the guidance by staying at home and not mixing."

Prof Powis added: "We can all play a part in fighting this terrible virus: stay at home, mark the New Year with just nearest and dearest within the rules.
"This action will reduce infections, relieve pressures on hospitals, and that's how everybody can help to save a life.
"Covid loves a crowd, so please leave the parties for later in the year."
His call for restraint came as deputy chief medical officer Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said the NHS had yet to see the impact of household mixing over Christmas.

He said the situation in the UK is "precarious in many parts already" and urged the public to "play your part from bringing us back from this very dangerous situation".
"It is almost certainly true that the NHS has not yet seen the impact of the infections that will have occurred during mixing on Christmas Day and that is also unfortunately rather sobering," Prof Van-Tam said.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson also urged people to follow the rules on December 31.
