[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 2330084, member: 420515"] It may end up being how it is distributed that controls who gets vacc'ed first. A vaccine that needs to be kept at -80deg before use, then has a five day 'expiry' window. The manufacturer has commissioned bags that stay in range for ten days and hold 5000 doses. What a logistical problem! So you want a region where you can guarantee that the 5000 people that get a first dose are in the same place on a specific day about a week (?) later. And you can handle injecting 1000 people per day in covid-safe environments. Large hospitals, I can see this. Care homes? You can't pull large groups of them together. Even including staff there can't be many with more than 100 people. Mobile injection vans? I can see schools, unis and large factories (food production etc.) getting done before care homes just because of the logistics. Edited to agree with Mr_Pot, a vaccine that can be stored at a 'reasonable' temperature would be so much easier [/QUOTE]
