You First Mr Morgan

The vaccine we have all been waiting for has been given the green light and the Government have said that shirt sleeves should be rolled up as injecting should start next week but quite rightly people are asking how safe is it as the UK is the first country in the world to approve the vaccine.
I have my own concerns over how a process that usually takes a decade was managed to be done and dusted within 9 months but the regulators have been sending out reassuring notices that it's all safe and have provided a timeline of the safety procedures.
The testing procedures have gone through the stages and only ever moving on to the next stage of testing if there are no outstanding safety concerns so starting with lab trials on human cells, they moved through animals and then onto humans with around 40,0000 individuals injected and no side effects before today's announcement by Dr Raine of the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) that: 'The public can be absolutely confident that the standards we have worked to are equivalent to those around the world'.
The regulator used a rolling review to complete its assessment of the vaccine in the shortest time possible, with hundreds of experts poring over more than a thousand pages of data and the the clinical phases of the trial were completed in an overlapping fashion, with separate items working in parallel to deliver the review in such a shortened time.
It has been confirmed that NHS Staff, Care home residents and their carers will be first in line to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in the UK, then all those aged 80 and over, followed by the over 75's and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals and then the rest in a phased timetable taking us up to April 2021. Pregnant women and children under 16 will not be immunised at all.
It's impossible to know if there are any long-term adverse health effects associated with the drug and i know it has been tested and approved as safe but....hmmmm, i don't know but it is nice that Piers Morgan has volunteered to be given the injection live on air on Good Morning Britain next week to show how safe it is which means for the first time ever when he is on screen, he won't be the biggest prick in the studio.
