This week, Prof Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer for England, said the case of Chile was “a good corrective” to the idea that a single vaccination programme can eliminate coronavirus quickly, as he warned that rapid success for the UK was not assured.
Of particular concern in the UK is whether the South African variant becomes widespread as it is thought to be*partially resistant to the AstraZeneca vaccine, which accounts for about 58% of jabs administered in the UK.

I enjoy visiting Europe & seeing all the countries different ways, but one day they will all be the same & live under the same rules.
It is easier for small countries to look after their own peoples needs, but how can one huge government understand the individual needs of each small country?

Your understanding seems incredibly poor; you might like to look at how flu vaccines for example work to discover that (Shock! Horror!) they work by basically injecting a weakened (or innactivated) virus too.
Something like 7 billion of those are dished out every year but if you'd rather not it means there's an extra one available for somebody else that doesn't want to risk death.

It's good of you to point out our caution.
I will however remind you again that our modernized AZ jab to tackle variants is due to be rolled-out this autumn.
I've seen nothing about similar updated vaccines from the other manufacturers.

Again: I will remind you that our modernized AZ jab specifically designed to tackle variants is due to be rolled-out this autumn and that I've seen nothing about similar updated vaccines from the other manufacturers.
I will politely suggest that you worry about you and yours together with the rest of the EU.
It is they that seem to be far more at risk.

Spot on Twink.
Always in favour of the Common Market and still am.
The EU is very different and not something I wish to be part of.
