Approval of Covid vaccine batches is to be sped up drastically in a huge boost to the jab campaign. Many GPs say they have still not got their first batch of the vaccine despite been promised them before Christmas. Testing of the initial doses has taken 20 days – with only one batch tested until that number was doubled yesterday. Government officials believe that these changes will cut the time it takes to assess each batch from 20 days to four or five. And the science in relation to this vaccine says two doses separated by 21 days.
