Apparently if stock is there, and not been taken up by the priority list it has to be used up before it expires. The message from NHS/Goverment is "NO VACCINE GOES TO WASTE", so that's why your seeing some groups get it before others. Papers try to create dramatic headlines like "Student gets jab beore medic" but it's not always true. It could be transporting the vaccine to where the medic is or vice versa might cause vaccine to expire.

Imagine all the no-shows/anti-vaxers/mental health issues/infirm/no longer living at address etc etc etc. Vaccine supply will keep coming in but for people that don't show up it cannot be kept, it gets used even if it means grabbing a 20 year old who's come in for routine appt, and offering that jab in their arm

Yes I reckon that must be the case. Also sadly some of the older people die before they have the jab so I guess that frees up more too.

This time next week we will be at our around 9 million vaccines and I hope cases down 20 percent again week on week to maybe 23k a day? Would take that now as progress. Also one week more done of this very tough winter and lockdown. January pretty much done and we have somehow got through it.

I am staying positive all the way. Even if I have to be like the violinists on the titanic.

The only part of your post I would question is the total number of vaccinations this time next week.

This is very unlike you but I reckon you have under-estimated as I reckon we will have exceeded 10 million doses. This is based on an average of 500k a day and I'm confident we will do better than that. More sites are being added all the time and the existing ones are getter faster as they iron out snags and get more organised.

I also reckon we will finish all vaccinations far quicker than being forecast as vaccine supply increases in the coming weeks. This definitely applies if the Johnson & Johnson one shot vaccine gains approval early next month as expected. This will be the one for the younger age groups.
 
anyone got any good and reassuring links/articles re the vaccine?

my wife's family, big family, is 50/50, with half the family fine with having the jab and half of them really reticent and worried, purely because they perceive it as new, or 'untested' or 'experimental'. Actual scientific papers wont work here, and apparently i'm not getting through to them - any good resources out there?

one more - one of them is breastfeeding, i assume no real trials were done on breastfeeding, as well as pregnant women?

There's a covid faq website being run in response to covid denial

Claim: Vaccines were rushed, and might be unsafe | Notion

I'm not aware of anything on breastfeeding.
