Mu Variant COVID-19 is highly contagious.

Orion Variant Covid 19 Coronavirus
Orion Variant
Dr Van Kerkhove told the Telegraph the WHO is looking at new names in case they go through all 24 letters of the Greek alphabet.
At the moment, constellations are being considered.
This means coronavirus variants could be named after constellations such as Orion, Leo, Gemini and Aries.
Private Vaccine Covid 19 Oxford
Private Vaccine Covid 19 Oxford will be available soon.
The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is expected to give approval for the Covid 19 vaccine imminently.
- UK regulator the MHRA has been analysing study data since mid November
- Testing suggests the vaccine is either 62% or 90% effective, depending on doses
- Either dosing regime looks good enough for approval, manufacturer says
If it is approved, the vaccine – which can, helpfully, be stored in a normal fridge – could get start getting rolled out just days later and be available to private clinics such as those in London’s Harley Street.
- Experts say having another vaccine available is vital: ‘Every day delayed counts’
- The new more-infectious strain of the virus may render three-tier system useless
- Pfizer’s jab difficult to distribute because it needs to be frozen; Oxford’s doesn’t
- MHRA regulators are expect to decide on approval by December 28 or 29 for the Private Vaccine Covid 19 Oxford
The UK has secured 100 million doses of the jab, four million of which are immediately available, allowing a major expansion in the NHS vaccine programme across the country.
Unlike the Pfizer jab, the Oxford vaccine can be stored in regular refrigerators, meaning it can be administered far more easily, from thousands of sites across the UK.

Private Covid Coronavirus Waiting List
The Covid-19 vaccination programme is now underway across the UK and the NHS is making progress focusing on those at risk groups initially.
Private healthcare providers have capacity to help accelerate the vaccination programme.
Currently the UK government is not making use of this capacity which is frustrating.
If the main bottleneck were in the production of the vaccine, we would see a case for banning private sales. If the supply of vaccines were fixed, buying one privately would necessarily entail taking it away from somebody else (who, from a clinical perspective, might need it more urgently).
However, the main bottleneck seems to be in the logistics of the rollout, not vaccine production per se.
If private sales make additional resources available for the setting up of a private, additional distribution channel, then surely everyone benefits.
This is not “jumping the queue”.
This is setting up a parallel fast-track queue and private healthcare providers hope that the government will see sense and use the capacity available in the private sector.
Although not yet confirmed we hope that the this capacity that will be used once those in the government priority list have been vaccinated.
Private clinics are actively looking to source safe vaccines supplies so that we can assist in this critical programme in particular potential supply of the Oxford Covid Vaccine from India where it is being manufactured.
Private Coronavirus Vaccination
As private healthcare providers, we have already had enquiries from members of the public who would like to arrange private vaccination.
Please express your interest here in a private covid vaccine.
There are two potential approved vaccines currently in use; Pfizer and the Oxford vaccine.
After the first wave of NHS vaccinations and as more vaccines become available, there are hopes that stock may be available for the private sector in the future, in the same way as flu vaccination has become more widely available. Certainly that may be of benefit in the longer term, if revaccination is required to maintain protection.
NHS COVID-19 Vaccination Priorities
For now the rollout of the NHS vaccination programme is underway and working through as follows:
- Residents in a care home for older adults and staff working in care homes for older adults
