  • Vaccine for most travellers available from mid-year

    Jan 27, 2021, 01:01 PM

    I imagine that the answer to @Hornet is that it will be a 'take it or leave it' situation as far as choice of vaccine is concerned. As things stand today I would definitely choose the Pfizer shot given the choice.In light of reported news today that AstraZeneca has done insufficient testing on ov...

  • Vaccine for most travellers available from mid-year

    Jan 08, 2021, 09:53 AM

    I am wondering two things:   Who is getting which vaccine?  I assume (maybe incorrectly)  that the Phase 1 people will get the Pfizer shots, with later Phase folk more likely to get the AstraZeneca variety.Secondly, will (fully vaccine certified) returning travellers be subjec...
