The funniest Tweets about the AstraZeneca/ Oxford vaccine

Earlier today it was revealed that the Oxford University coronavirus vaccine is 70 per cent effective.

AstraZeneca and Oxford University announced their jab is effective in preventing many people from getting ill and it has been shown to work in different age groups, including the elderly.

Those on Twitter have seen the good news as an opportunity to poke fun at Oxbridge rivalries.
