They've only been doing it for just over a week, and we have limited doses at the moment, and even more limited places to dispense it, so I think we need to be cautious about the time scale.I do wonder how they are going to vaccinate everyone, apparently they have done 175000 at that rate they said it would take 7 years to get to everyone. Now I know there will be more vaccination centres but it’s mind boggling when you have to do 60/70 million people!
I know that large premises are being readied to get a lot of people through quickly, and once that ramps up they'll get through 100's of thousands per day.
Me and the other half got the flu jab last night (over 50's), having only been invited on Monday, and knowing our surgery and it's normal glacial pace, I fully expected to have to wait ages for an appointment, but even on Tuesday we could book any time on Thursday. I expected a full car park and a queue to get in the surgery, but we arrived and were ushered in straight into the surgery room, and were both done and back in the car in under 5 minutes, I was quite impressed, something our surgery has never managed in 10 years experience of being with them.
