The vaccine

Conveniently, it's the temperature of dry ice and laboratory freezers are available for those temperatures.

That shows how much I know and why I was always crap at science

Sorry for coming across as the prophet of doom.

Prophet of doom? No way, not ever

I only learned that a couple of days ago myself from someone eminently more qualified than me! But yes, 'dry ice' (carbon dioxide) is solid below -78 degrees, plenty cold enough. I'm also of an age when I remember blocks of it being used in vans to deliver ice cream to the village shops - I saw a bit lying on the ground by the village post office and went to touch it but my mother pulled me away sharpish...

Looking at my surgery they will need to bring in more fridges to store the stuff since theirs are pretty small.

The army are involved so they could be doing some deliveries.

So the vaccine you need two doses do people think 65 million in the UK are going to need two doses once per year or would they allow you to miss it in future years once the pandemic is over? Surely it would be a big upheaval to vaccinate 65 million people twice a year as they are having to hire out sports halls ect? Or would there be another vaccine coming which is maybe oral and can be done yourself?

No, no, no... Prophet of Doom is Frank.

You're thinking of fruit pastilles I think.

Quite honestly Phil I think it’s too soon to be able to say that for sure. This fast tracking of a vaccine (at least one this quickly) has never been done before. To me I think the primary focus is finding a safe and effective vaccine to get out in the general population. Once that’s done, who knows - maybe further research and studies and trials will come up with one that is similar to polio and given orally. But for now I really don’t think that’s anyone’s focus.
