I guess I do admire their creative solutions. There’s no point in holding up vaccination if there are more vaccines there than infrastructure (and people identified on) the JCVI list allows. But if others take short cuts, or are slower because they aren’t taking short cuts, then I don’t think we are necessarily well placed to criticise.
I read a few weeks ago that medics were being so careful with the vials when drawing vaccine into the syringe that yield was higher than expected. Can’t find the link now, but it suggests that the pressure to find arms to inject has been there from very early on. I’m not sure it’s fairly categorised as a short cut though. Russia commencing wide-scale use of the Sputnik-V vaccine on the basis of stage 2 trials is a short cut.

It is the Livingston facility, which has benefited from a government development grant as well as a thumping big order. Meanwhile the EU still hasn’t ordered anything from them. The French media, and regional politicians, are not happy.
