thank you very much indeed, richard griffiths.ramme is under way, despite the sputnik vaccine still going through safety and efficacy trials. the firstjabs have been administered in clinics in moscow. it comes as russia is reporting record high numbers of confirmed covid—19 cases. our moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford reports. this is one of the moscow clinics that is now rolling out russia's sputnik vaccine to the population. first of all, doctors, medics generally, health workers, teachers and social workers have been invited to receive the vaccine. now, sputnik v is still in an experimental form, more trials for its safety and its efficacy are still under way. but the chief doctor at this clinic has said she is confident it is fine to roll it out now. translation: this vaccine has been officially registered. we have enough research to know that it is 92% effective. and if there is a choice to get sick or have the vaccine, then this is a dangerous disease, the answer is obvious. this is a leaflet that patients are given befo

now, a question from richard griffiths in warsall. could the autoimmune response be affected? we have no evidence that that is the case. what richard is asking is, will the immunisation then give me extra trouble with my autoimmune system acting against my other organs? we have no evidence for this. this is another reason why, when we get the vaccine, the dose is very carefully monitored, meaning the right amount to induce the right amount of immunity without hype stimulating the immune system, so while there is no evidence that this has happened, we are still very cautious about giving the right dose in order to only create immunity and an immune response. professor evans, susan kavanagh from chillingham wants to know from gillingham wants to know how do scientists know that the vaccine will not react badly or perhaps even more pertinently reduce the effectiveness of other medications someone might be taking? good question. we do not know the certain whether this will be so. however, our previous experience with vaccines and our knowl

earlier we spoke to richard griffiths, from the british poultry council. must remember that it is a disease of birds, not of humans. the nhs has not seen any cases of this anywhere in the world, so as cases of this anywhere in the world, so as of now, we are concerned is an industry, we are concerned of individual businesses, because it will have a massive impact. we are trying very hard to stamp it out. that is what we try every time there is an incident. we have seen, as have been reported, we have seen insta nces have been reported, we have seen instances all around the country, so we know it is quite prevalent in wild birds. that is the way that it generally gets into poultry flocks. so, yes, we might see more cases, but we are trying our very best to stamp it out. more now on efforts secure a post—brexit trade deal. and trade and transport organisations in northern ireland have expressed their concern about the stalemate in the post—brexit trade negotiations. they have urged borisjohnson and ursula von der leyen, to reach an agreement quickly. from be

a question from richard griffiths in warsaw. this. this is another reason why when we get the vaccine, the doses very carefully monitored, meaning the right amount should induce the right amount of immunity without hype stimulating the immune system, so while there is no evidence that this has happened, we are still very cautious about giving the right dose in order to only create immunity and an immune response. susan kavanagh from chillingham once to know how do scientists know that the vaccine will not react badly or reduce the effectiveness of other medications someone might be taking? we do not know the certain whether this will be so. however, our previous experience with vaccines and how they work suggests that any possible interaction with ordinary medicines that you take will be almost entirely absent, or probably entirely absent, or probably entirely absent. when you get interactions with drugs, don‘t forget the drugs are being taken day after day after day and the effect of two different drugs can be that they interact
