Yes, amazing numbers and effort. For all of the faults along the way, credit to all involved for rolling this out. It puts us in a much better position. I was really impressed with the army of volunteers in Barnes when I had mine. I reckon Brits are brilliant at sorting stuff out. Probably because we never have a plan so are used to making it up as we go along

Once we have the Feb 15th target hit I think the UK should make an offer to Dublin, offering them enough vaccine for their most vulnerable groups. Just for the lolz. It would drive Brussels f***ing nuts. Could you imagine ? They would go apoplectic. It wouldn't surprise me if they tried to forbid the Irish from taking it. Then the sh!t would really hit the fan.

I tip my hat to all those who have stepped up not everyone country is as good at doing it. Stay safe folks.

You make a good point, this is the ultimate upside of 'winging it'.

Let’s look forward to the EUs consolidated approach to vaccinating the developing world then.

Try 5+ years Summers will no doubt be fine, eventually, but winters won’t be normal for a while Mail headline today seemed genuinely surprised that social distancing would still be in place this summer. It’s the mail, sure. But let’s be realistic And yes there will of course be ever more mutations but surely the strategy will just be the same as the existing flu jab. New formula each year, annual jabs. May have already been mentioned but it’s interesting to see that flu cases are apparently down 95% - shows how weak it is in comparison to COVID Edited by SW19 CPFC (31 Jan 2021 7.59pm)

Be an interesting book/documentary/film (and probably multiples thereof) to come out of this particular aspect of the UK's reaction to Covid. I would hazard a guess though that most countries would probably be able to do similar but without the actual vaccine...I have seen pictures of Spanish vaccination centres that have everything in place but nothing to actually inject. A bloody shame because if we all want to get some normality back anytime soon then we need a lot of other countries to get up to speed quickly as well.

Just because a few countries vaccinate the majority of their population doesn’t mean it ‘ends’. There’s a few billion people to work your way through first And yes, interesting book indeed re. Strategy and response - s*** start, average middle, and hopefully a storming comeback to finish

There are people here who I disagree with politically but respect because they take the pandemic seriously and behave responsibly. You, I regret to say, are not in that category. If that makes me "superior" then that's fine. I would not want to think and behave as you do.

Probably because we never have a plan so are used to making it up as we go along When I had mine on Friday there was 3 times as many staff there as needed. Maybe because it was late in the evening but there was quite a party atmosphere probably due to a long shift ending. I could theoretically have had two vaccinations on the same day as I was called to two centres, although my NHS number would probably have flagged it up. I didn't of course.

BUT after everyone has been vaccinated I’d expect things to be reasonably back to normal because if they aren’t then when will they ever be?

Yes it is a pity that the approach isn't more uniformed and the potential negatives of that. Even outside of Europe some countries are going to be so far behind the curve that it doesn't bode well. Still, selfishly I do hope we're able to continue at the current pace here for a while. We're possibly better able to help others if it's less of a concern at home for a time.
