Croydon University Hospital is the first place in the
world to have it in stock, they are starting on the
staff today, according to the BBC Radio News.

This is my local hospital.

Please keep us updated with any news on how it goes.

The Government has directed who gets it first,
starting with the over 80s and they reckon that
could take up to March, I am not yet 80, but I
will let you know how it goes with the people
who do get it.

All the first people to get it were interviewed
on the news, they were in their 90s or 100th
years.

The first person in the world to get the legal vaccine today was British politician Matt Hancock's 91 year old Grandmother.. The second person was an 81 year old Coventry man named William Shakespeare ( no-one is going to forget him are they ) ?

Just saw a piece on the news for all the protocols for storage and use of the vaccine. Including the temp for storage, how long a container can be out of the cold, and how long once in syringe to be injected. There is also a warming agent added to each dose.

Thanks for this info, Marie. I was wondering how people would be able to tolerate freezing cold vaccines.

The whole world will be watching to see how it goes; hopefully well.
