700,000 doses available a week and it's going to take us a while to get to that point. matched

So I think that's the issue rather than can we administer those vaccines. matched

Yeah, well, I think they are thinking of respiratory clinics, that model being used as well with the drive-through with general practitioners, which was very useful, as well as public hospitals providing those sort of drive-through facilities as well. matched

You've just got to have a queue of people ready to get it. matched

You've got to have the supply. matched

You've got to have the cold chain. matched

There were 47 cases of anaphylaxis, according to a standard definition from the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. matched

That's a rate of about 4.7 cases per million doses administered. matched

And there were 19 people who developed an anaphylactic reaction to the Moderna vaccine because the Moderna vaccine has the similar component. matched

And that's about a reported rate of 2.5 cases per million. matched
