They also need to take a look at the their vaccine rollout progress — around 140,000 to date — and ask themselves why they insisted that such a huge chunk of the EU’s billion-or-so dose first phase order went to Sanofi given that it never had any real chance of being one of the early vaccines to market.
The French Govt. is well known for procuring from French companies. My neighbours in France tell that the whole pandemic management is a disaster. (I know Boris is trying to take that mantle but UK is doing far better than France).
I chaired a PPG meeting last night for our Medical Centre. Vaccination Hub at Adams Park is 100% ready and staffed. One problem - they have only received 2 x 975 doses of Pfizer and do not know when they will get any more. Is it a manufacturing capability or logistics problem? Listening to Brigadier Phil Prosser who leads 101 Logistics Brigade, this morning, who is tasked with getting deliveries to point of use asap, I cannot believe it is a distribution problem.
The NHS hierarchy decide where it goes. Quite what logic they are using is another matter.
