Covid vaccine: First 'milestone' vaccine offers 90% protection Published 9 November 2020
comments Comments

The first effective coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19, a preliminary analysis shows.
The developers - Pfizer and BioNTech - described it as a "great day for science and humanity".
Their vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised.
The companies plan to apply for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month.
No vaccine has gone from the drawing board to being proven highly effective in such a short period of time.
There are still huge challenges ahead, but the announcement has been warmly welcomed with scientists describing themselves smiling "ear to ear" and some suggesting life could be back to normal by spring.
"I am probably the first guy to say that, but I will say that with some confidence," said Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine at Oxford University.
How effective could it be?
A vaccine - alongside better treatments - is seen as the best way of getting out of the restrictions that have been imposed on all our lives.
The data shows that two doses, three weeks apart, are needed. The trials - in US, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and Turkey - show 90% protection is achieved seven days after the second dose.
However, the data presented is not the final analysis as it is based on only the first 94 volunteers to develop Covid so the precise effectiveness of the vaccine may change when the full results are analysed.
Dr Albert Bourla, the chairman of Pfizer, said: "We are a significant step closer to providing people around the world with a much-needed breakthrough to help bring an end to this global health crisis."
Prof Ugur Sahin, one of the founders of BioNTech, described the results as a "milestone".
This video can not be played To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. Media caption, Sarah Montague reacted with excitement upon hearing Professor Bell's views on the significance of today's vaccine news
When will the vaccine be available?
A limited number of people may get the vaccine this year.
Pfizer and BioNTech say they will have enough safety data by the third week of November to take their vaccine to regulators.
Until it has been approved it will not be possible for countries to begin their vaccination campaigns.
The two companies say they will be able to supply 50 million doses by the end of this year and around 1.3 billion by the end of 2021. Each person needs two doses.
The UK should get 10 million doses by the end of the year, with a further 30 million doses already ordered.
Who would get it?
Not everyone will get the vaccine straight away and countries are each deciding who should be prioritised.
Hospital staff and care home workers will be near the top of every list because of the vulnerable people they work with, as will the elderly who are most at risk of severe disease.
The UK is likely to prioritise older resident in care homes and the people that work there.
But it says a final decision has not been made, saying it will depend on how well the vaccine works in different age-groups and how the virus is spreading.
People under 50 and with no medical problems are likely to be last in the queue.
Are there any potential problems?
There are still many unanswered questions as this is only interim data.
We do not know if the vaccine stops you spreading the virus or just from developing symptoms. Or if it works equally well in high-risk elderly people.
The biggest question - how long does immunity last - will take months or potentially years to answer.
There are also massive manufacturing and logistical challenges in immunising huge numbers of people, as the vaccine has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C.
The vaccine appears safe from the large trials so far but nothing, including paracetamol, is 100% safe.
How does it work?
There are around a dozen vaccines in the final stages of testing - known as a phase 3 trial - but this is the first to show any results.
It uses a completely experimental approach - that involves injecting part of the virus's genetic code - in order to train the immune system.
Previous trials have shown the vaccine trains the body to make both antibodies - and another part of the immune system called T-cells to fight the coronavirus.
What has the reaction been?
The UK's chief medical advisor Prof Chris Whitty said the results showed the "power of science" and was a "reason for optimism" for 2021.

The US president-elect Joe Biden said it was "excellent news".
"It is also important to understand that the end of the battle against Covid-19 is still months away," he added.
The UK Prime Minister's official spokesman said the results were "promising" and that "the NHS stands ready to begin a vaccination programme for those most at risk once a Covid-19 vaccine is available".
Prof Peter Horby, from the University of Oxford, said: "This news made me smile from ear to ear.
"It is a relief... there is a long long way to go before vaccines will start to make a real difference, but this feels to me like a watershed moment."

Baroness Jane Campbell sits in the House of Lords, but was a protester in the 1990s. She became involved in disability politics after being sacked from her job at a charity because she couldn't physically use a typewriter. It gave her "the anger I needed to become a radical campaigner".
The DDA [Disability Discrimination Act] was never going to be a magic answer to all our problems but it did one very important thing - it paved the way for a radical change in the social concept of disabled people's lives. Instead of disabled people being tragic victims, it was accepted that we were unable to thrive due to the disabling environment and social attitudes which kept us excluded and powerless.
The public quickly understood that lack of access to transport, buildings, housing, education and employment was a national travesty.

Since the years of austerity and now the pandemic, we are considered to be "the vulnerable". If we don't watch it, we will soon move from the "vulnerables" to the "expendables". I fear the notion of "survival of the fittest" could undermine all our gains over the last 25 years.
We have won freedoms that I never enjoyed as a child. However, society has taken its foot off the gas.
Disabled people must find the strength to regroup, come together as other disadvantaged groups have and renew our claim to be treated with dignity, equality, and respect.

Justin Tomlinson MP is the minister for disabled people, health and work. He is currently working on what he calls an "ambitious and wide ranging" National Strategy for Disabled People.
We have seen a huge shift in awareness, enthusiasm and opportunities. The DDA and Equality Act have stood the test of time and provide a strong and straightforward legal framework that protects disabled people from unfair treatment.
This has focused minds and crucially helped us deliver record numbers of disabled people in work. However, these are unprecedented times, so we have to redouble our efforts to both protect and create new jobs.

The Equality Act itself is quite complicated and it takes experts to properly draft court documents. I'm 20-years qualified and yet I bring in expert barristers to do that work.
It is an effective tool and gives us the ability to change things. The criticism generally comes down to an individual being brave enough to take on the fight.
The change in the shape of our caseload, because of Covid-19, reflects the change in society. While the cases used to be about physical issues, now it's about the online space. Supermarkets removed people's existing online slots and levelled it down to a first-come-first-served policy that was always going to disadvantage their customers who are disabled.
Equality is not having the same policy for everybody without discriminating. Equality is ensuring that the outcome of the policy creates a level playing field.
'If a company wants my loyalty, where are its disability credentials?'
Image source, Mike Adams
Mike Adams is CEO of Purple, an organisation which focuses on the economy related to disabled people and business.
I can tangibly see that life is different since 1995, but there are always some reminders about how far we still have to go. Businesses don't necessarily see disabled people as customers, they think of it as a set of responsibilities. But businesses and organisations need to determine themselves that good access and service is the right thing to do.
Unlocking the disabled customer unlocks the disabled employee.
What I'd like to see is, if a company wants my loyalty, where are its disability credentials? I don't think anyone now would have a brand that wasn't environmentally savvy. We're talking about 22% of the population - that's a fifth moving to a quarter.
'People don't necessarily have the same outrage'
Image source, Heather Lacey
Heather Lacey is an award-winning activist and campaigner. She was approaching her second birthday when the DDA was passed, and will be 27 later this month.
Diversity and inclusion is at the top of everyone's agenda. We're making some fantastic changes in the world, particularly with Black Lives Matter. But disability is never quite there - people don't necessarily have the same outrage.
It's frustrating because as we are getting older the majority of people are going to be disabled - it is a variation of normal.
There needs to be more of an acceptance of the Equality Act existing for the benefit of everybody, rather than "them" over there, and of it being able to actually engage people.
Over the next 10 years I'd love to be able to alter those perceptions of what disability means to people. Without that, I think you're going to struggle to really make sure access is there for everyone.

Albania has emerged as the leading candidate to host England's Nations League game against Iceland next on 18 November if required - with Germany another option being explored.

UK unemployment rate continues to surge Published 10 November 2020

The UK's unemployment rate rose to 4.8% in the three months to September, up from 4.5%, as coronavirus continued to hit the jobs market.
Redundancies rose to a record high of 314,000 in the same period, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
Firms made more workers redundant in anticipation of the end of the furlough scheme, which was originally supposed to finish at the end of October.
It has now been extended until the end of March.
Analysts said the extension had come "too late in the day" to save some jobs and further big rises in unemployment were likely in the coming months.
How many are affected and which age group is faring worst?
The number of people out of work rose by 243,000 in the three-month period, the largest increase since May 2009.
The redundancy figure was higher, however, because it included people who may have lost their jobs and then retired or decided to stop looking for work.
The ONS figures also showed there was a big rise in the number of 16 to 24-year-olds out of work.
The unemployment rate among young people is far higher than the overall rate.
What about the bigger picture?
ONS deputy national statistician for economic statistics Jonathan Athow told the BBC: "We're seeing a continuation of a weakening of the labour market, fewer people on the payrolls and fewer people employed overall. That is now passing through to increasing unemployment altogether."
He said the UK was starting to see people fall out of work in quite large numbers. However, there were still about 2.5 million people on furlough, with "quite a lot of uncertainty" about what would happen to them.
"We might see furlough creep up again and that might mean we don't see any further big increases in redundancies or unemployment, but it's way too early to tell what will happen," he added.
Mr Athow said vacancies continued to recover from the very low numbers seen earlier in the year, but those figures predated the reintroduction of lockdown restrictions in many parts of the UK.
What do unemployed people say?
Justin Miller was made redundant as a lifeguard in July. He is a graduate who has applied for more than 100 jobs, but has not once been invited to an interview.
"I've been looking for opportunities, but I just haven't had any luck with anything I've been doing," he told the BBC.
"There's a lot of jobs out there locally with local shops, but I've been competing against other people that could have been made redundant with 10, 20 years' experience, so I've got no chance of getting those jobs.
"Most of the time I'm not even hearing anything back. It's just been really difficult," he says.
"It definitely plays on your mental health. There's a lot of thoughts that go on in your head because you've had so much rejection.
"It's a question of keeping myself motivated and not letting it get me down too much."
How do you improve your chances of finding work?

If you keep getting rejection emails, ask them why, says Claire Valoti, a boss at social media company Snap.
"Not everyone is going to give you feedback, but some will. The important thing is to figure out what's not working and how you can better sell yourself."
"Be bold," she says. Ask a recruiter or someone in your industry, since job applications and interviews are things at which you can improve, she recommends.
What are economists saying?
Tej Parikh, chief economist at the Institute of Directors, said the pandemic continued to bring "turbulence" to the UK jobs market.
"The extension of the furlough scheme through to March is welcome as it has given directors certainty to plan ahead for their staff. Unfortunately, the change appears to have come too late in the day for some."
Suren Thiru, head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce, said: "While there was a rise in the number of job vacancies, this is more likely to reflect a temporary bounce as the economy reopened before recent restrictions were reintroduced, rather than a meaningful upturn in demand for labour.
He said the extension to the furlough scheme would safeguard a significant number of jobs in the short term.
"However, with firms facing another wave of severely diminished cashflow and revenue and with gaps in government support persisting, further substantial rises in unemployment remain likely in the coming months."
How bad is this compared with previous downturns?
Given the scale of the economic shock we've been through, the impact of the pandemic on the official unemployment rate remains mild. A level of 4.8%, encompassing 1.62 million people, is low by historic standards. And current predictions that unemployment will peak at 7-8% also look modest, given the fact that we're now in an economic double-dip of unprecedented proportions.
That won't be any consolation to the record 314,000 people made redundant from July to September. Fully informed by scientists about the risks of a second wave, Chancellor Rishi Sunak spent four months telling the nation he was against extending the furlough scheme beyond October ("I cannot save every business. I cannot save every job").
Indeed, the chancellor said in his winter economy plan in September it was "fundamentally wrong" to hold people in jobs that only exist inside the furlough and only changed his mind with hours to go. There can be no doubt that a large chunk of those people made redundant would still be in work, had their employers known the government would throw its policy into reverse at the last minute.
But with 2.5 million workers still reliant on furlough (according to the ONS), there are many more who can be glad the government executed that U-turn.
What has the political reaction been?
Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the figures underlined "the scale of the challenge" that the country was facing.
"I know that this is a tough time for those who have sadly already lost their jobs, and I want to reassure anyone that is worried about the coming winter months that we will continue to support those affected and protect the lives and livelihoods of people across this country," he added.
The government had extended the furlough scheme to protect jobs and launched the £2bn Kickstart programme to help young people, he said.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Jonathan Reynolds said people had lost their livelihoods because of the government's "failure to face up to the scale of this jobs crisis in time".
"We've had enough last-minute changes and bluster from this government," he added.
The chancellor needs to urgently provide support to those who have lost their jobs and get Britain back to work - including through a green recovery to help create hundreds of thousands of low-carbon jobs."

If you and your boyfriend both live alone and in England , you can form a support bubble , which means that you can spend as much as time as you want in each other ’ s company , inside or outside a house .
You don ’ t have to keep a 2m distance from one another , and you can stay overnight at each other ’ s house .
If you are living alone , and your partner is in a shared household ( or vice versa ) , matters get complicated .
You can still form a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will also be with his household , and it would be the only bubble allowed to that household .
What this means is that if one of your boyfriend ’ s housemates has a partner who is - like you - living elsewhere and alone , that couple will be prevented from meeting up .
Support bubbles are for the benefit of people who are living alone ( or alone with children ) .
If both you and your boyfriend are living in shared households , you are not allowed to form one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and at a distance of 2m from each other .
Northern Ireland has also introduced support bubbles while Scotland and Wales now allow a similar arrangement known as `` extended households '' .
In all of these , if one person taking part develops symptoms , every member of the bubble or extended household must self-isolate .

How is the government going to protect vulnerable children who remain unvaccinated? My son has cystic fibrosis and will now be forced to mix - he has not had any access to vaccination.
Because your son is in a clinical risk group - and as long as he is over five - he should soon be offered two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. You should be contacted by your GP or specialist team to arrange this.
With regard to the dangers of mixing, the UK has also recommended that Covid vaccines are offered to all children aged 5 to 11, not just those at high clinical risk. This is likely to start in England in April. Children are generally at much lower risk of becoming seriously ill from a Covid infection, although some do still get sick and need hospital care. Over-12s can already be vaccinated, and it's hoped that extending the rollout to younger age groups will help protect even more children from the risk of catching and spreading Covid.
Schools are expected to work with and support families who have concerns about a pupil returning to the classroom. It is compulsory for school-age children to attend, even if they were previously shielding - the only exception is a small number of children whose clinician or GP has advised them not to attend. If you have concerns about this, you should talk to your doctor.

Unemployment in Scotland higher for men Published 10 November 2020
Image source, PA Media Image caption, The overall unemployment rate in Scotland has remained steady at 4.5%
The unemployment rate in Scotland is higher for men with almost 5% looking for work from July to September, figures show.
The rate for women is 4.2% while the overall rate in Scotland remains steady at 4.5%, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
Employment rose slightly to 74% over the quarter.
The Scottish government said the figures still did not reflect the full impact of Covid-19 on employment.
HMRC estimates show that the number of people on payrolls in Scotland is down by more than 3% on October last year.
The ONS survey data is from the period when businesses were allowed to reopen following the UK lockdown.
The UK-wide rate went up from 4.5% over the quarter and now stands at 4.8%.
The number of people in work across the UK fell by 247,000, the largest annual decrease in more than a decade, the ONS said.
Furlough extension
In Scotland, 126,000 people were looking for work over the three months.
Business Minister Jamie Hepburn said estimates showed there were 2.3 million payrolled employees in Scotland, a fall of 3.1% compared with October 2019.
"I welcome the chancellor's positive but long overdue announcement last week that he will extend the Job Retention Scheme until March 2021," Mr Hepburn said.
"We repeatedly urged the UK government to safeguard jobs by guaranteeing that this support would be available for as long as employers need it.
"However, I am aware that some businesses will have already taken the difficult decision to make people redundant because of the unnecessary confusion caused by the UK government and the expectation that the furlough scheme would be withdrawn."
Scottish Secretary Alister Jack said there would be "further challenges" for Scotland over the winter, despite the "apparent stability" in the latest figures.
"The UK government continues to take unprecedented action to support jobs," he said.
"Last week the Chancellor extended the UK government furlough and self-employed support schemes, alongside an additional £1bn in Barnett Consequentials for the Scottish government."
The Federation of Small Businesses said the Scottish jobs figures disguised the trouble that many firms were in.
Andrew McRae, FSB's Scotland policy chairman, said: "While many small businesses will have moved heaven and earth to keep their staff on, unless we stabilise trading conditions then we risk a wave of job losses in the future.
"Anecdotally, many Scottish businesses don't realise that the extended furlough scheme is open to them at the moment, even if they don't face stringent restrictions.
"We need to raise awareness that Scottish businesses facing the indirect impact of current coronavirus restrictions - such as tourism firms in rural areas or city centre operators dependent on office workers - can use the scheme. That way we'll save many more jobs."
'Where am I going to go from here?'
Head chef Billy McCondochie and his junior colleague Brandon Wight both found themselves out of work in August after spending months on furlough.
They worked together in a restaurant in Edinburgh's Rose Street. They are now among more than 20,000 more people claiming Universal Credit in the city than in March.
Billy, 43, has moved from private rented accommodation to a temporary hostel and has had no luck finding kitchen work. Instead, he finds himself taking cleaning jobs.
He told BBC Scotland's The Nine programme: "It's not like I'm workshy. Being a chef in Edinburgh was like one long party. Maybe I should've saved money but I didn't think a pandemic was going to come.
"I've had dark nights. Where am I going to go from here? Are we ever going to get back to normal?"
'I'll take any job that's offered, I'm not too fussy'
Commis chef Brandon, 18, has worked in kitchens since leaving school two years ago.
He said: "I've been applying for anything really - retail, hospitality, cafes, bars and restaurants. I've not had much luck but I'm still looking.
