London:
One of England’s top medical officials on Sunday urged the public to continue to follow strict locking rules as any immunization associated with a vaccine from COVID-19 will take at least three weeks to start.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, England’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer, also warned that there is still no clear evidence that people with a vaccine cannot pass the deadly virus to others.
“Whether or not they have been vaccinated, it is vital that everyone follows national restrictions and public health advice, as protection can take up to three weeks to start and is unknown. We still have no idea what effect vaccines give, “said Mr Van-Tam.
His warning comes as the UK recorded another daily high death toll from the virus 1,348 this weekend, bringing the country’s total to 97,329.
However, he noted that an additional 32 vaccination sites were coming forward to add to the thousands of establishments where the National Health Service (NHS) has delivered 140 jobs per minute, vaccination to over 5.8 million.
“The vaccine is as it should be – stay patient, stay at home and support the NHS while continuing to roll out the vaccine,” he said.
New Museum sites include the Museum of Live, where the BBC filmed the acclaimed drama series ‘Peaky Blinders’, based on the famous Birmingham band of the 1920s.
The new IKEA store at the Westfield shopping center in Stratford, London, the Francis Crick Institute, which is also in the UK capital, Nightingale Hospital in Sunderland and Blackpool Winter Gardens will also be the new vaccination centers.
The latest openings mean a network of nearly 50 across the country, adding to options alongside hospitals, pharmacies and general (GP) surgeries.
“Through a vaccine delivery plan, we have made significant progress in vaccinating our NHS and care staff and the most vulnerable in society,” said UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
“We can’t ignore our guard. While the vaccine may prevent serious infection, we don’t know if it stops you from passing the virus on to others, and it will improve immune time after an injection, so for now everyone must continue to stay at home to help bring down diseases and protect the NHS, “he said.
The NHS said the new vaccine centers will be able to deliver thousands of jobs each week, scaling up and down according to vaccine supply and demand.
People eligible over the priority criteria are invited to people over the age of 80, followed by people over the age of 70, care home staff and staff as well as frontline staff. , and people are being urged not to just come up.
“These new centers provide an alternative to people invited for their jobs, along with the commendable work of local GPs,” said Professor Stephen Powis, NHS national medical director.
Vaccination Minister Nadhim Zahawi said: “Next week will see nearly 50 vaccination centers, more than 250 hospital centers and more than 1,000 local vaccine service sites, run by GPs and pharmacies across the country.
“This will allow us to vaccinate so many people in the coming weeks and months and I urge anyone who has been invited for a free vaccination to come forward and get an injection.”
The NHS said its new Vaccination Centers will begin pushing health and social care workers mostly from Monday before opening their doors to more patients on Tuesday.
