Looking at the basic arithmetic. Assume that the population of the UK is 66m; assume the NHS manages to to 2m jabs a week, then we are looking at an absolute minimum of more than eight months for the vaccination programme. I admit the figures are basic and take a simplistic view. But at least one of them is accurate and the other a decent guess. Govt estimate was quoted (ITV news) at 3m per week; now seems to be 2m a week (BBC News). Obviously, all 66m will not be jabbed but the overestimation could cover it when things go wrong and cause delays. Except that couldn’t happen, could it? Nothing ever goes wrong in the NHS and even it it did it would not be their fault.
