Yesterday's vaccination numbers

First dose: 462,246

Second dose: 119,609

580k in one day. Excellent. Not far off 1 percent of the population in a single day. Quite incredible.

UK has had similar blood clot cases with the vaccine and are investigating says scientist in press conference. Her first name is June. That's all I heard Boris call her.

Chris Witty likens the issue to side effects of aspirin and the balance of risk is what they use.

5 people out 11 million is the case ratio for the clot issue and that is many times less than the risk of getting Covid without the vaccine says Whitty.

People should probably remember this when they are moaning about supply issues. It is incredible.

I like the question from ITV in the press conference today: will this latest setback in supply affect government vaccination targets?

Boris: No (and straight onto the next question)

CVT has occurred 5 times in 11m UK O-ZA jabs, so chance = 0.000000454545 (Note: at the moment this is a correlation NOT cause)
Chance of being hit by lightning in a year = 1 in 500000 = 0.000002
So you are 4 times more likely to be hit by lightning.
This is the level of risk if it is caused by the O-ZA vaccine and as things stand there is no evidence to suggest cause rather than correlation.

Mrs Unicorn and my sister, both 54, got their AZ jabs today following mine on Sunday.

(Despite coming from the Fens, Mrs Unicorn and my sister are NOT the same person.)

I don't think its implausible next week that every day is under 100. Might be one week too soon, but it feels very, very close. The daily average will defo be I reckon at least.

If you look at the figures for "date of death" we may already be there.

Boris said in the press conference this evening that even though supply will be lower in April than it was in March, it will still be higher than February

There was always going to have to be a point when second jabs may have to be prioritised with supply.
