Just saw Nadhim Zahawi, our Covid-19 vaccine minister on BBC Breakfast say that he could not give details of numbers of vaccine being received “because they move about”. Quite a lot of things do this “moving about” thing – people, cars etc. They do not come with delivery notes, which I am sure vaccines do, but we still manage to count the buggers. If the NHS cannot even count the vaccines then what chance of giving them to people?
He also said: “I’m confident we will meet our mid-February target and continue beyond that,” referring to the goal of giving a first dose to the 15 million people in the top four priority groups by then.
Not going to happen here. GP has heard nothing about vaccinations, even though he’s alleged to have been ordered by NHS to get jabs to all care home by 24 Jan. Lots of care homes here Plenty of over-80s still heard nothing. Over 70s? If I had a house I’d bet it on not getting jab within two weeks.
