It's four years ago today that then Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a national lockdown as the first wave of the Coronavirus took hold. Within a year, the roll out of Coronavirus vaccine in the UK had started and was a staggering success. The rollout was a brilliant testimony to the hard work and skill of everybody involved; the scientists and technicians at Oxford University and AstraZeneca, and their counterparts around the world, the hard working NHS and armed forces teams managing a huge logistical exercise of getting the jab into people’s arms, and the legion of wonderful volunteers, helping out from Land’s End to John O’Groats to support the mission. The Prime Minister visited AstraZeneca at that time, and we were delighted to see that most of the media coverage featured this picture of him changing the agar plate on an ImpactAir-140. As a business, we believe in doing our bit to help wherever we can. We’re exceptionally proud of the modest part we played in helping with vaccine development and manufacturing. All of the vaccine manufacturers had to develop and manufacture at speed. When you’re manufacturing injectables at speed, you need to be 100% confident that the manufacturing environment is as clean as it can be, and you need to know that your environmental monitoring is on top of its game. It’s humbling and also a source of great pride, that when that was the case, people turned to our products. We were happy to see our ImpactAir products called into action to meet this challenge, and we are delighted that they continue to perform, delivering world class environmental monitoring wherever they are needed.
