Vaccinations romping along

Using the online calculator a while ago, I’m sure I was due for my first jab around August with the follow up in October. Checking it just now, it says I’m now due for my first jab in April with the follow up in July. We're doing well, aren’t we? (y)

It calculates I am due between 5th Feb and 20th, I actually already have my appointment for the 7th.

We are doing really well, especially here in Yorkshire - they have been slowed down, by diverting the vaccine to other, slower, less well organised parts of the country.
 
According to the calculator, for my age the Welsh rate is 3 weeks ahead of UK and 3 months ahead of the Scottish rate. I'll believe that when I feel it. :eek::eek:
 
Credit where it's due, the rollout is going well. Long may it continue. Wales is up to about 13% of the whole population as of today. Go Drakey!
 
I’m sure I will get disagreement from some on here but I would say that the UK going it alone with vaccine procurement instead of being caught up in the EU vaccine procurement shambles has turned out to be an absolutely massive benefit of Brexit. Undoubtedly, although it can’t be proved, many, many UK lives will be saved and at the end of the day, it’s human lives that matter - much more than taking a ham sandwich to Holland or hauliers having a few more forms to fill in.

Yes the vaccine programme has been a Brexit benefit......although the procurement did happen whilst we were still fully under EU rules.

Brexit economic damage though continues to grow......goods movement through Dover is down by a huge amont, because of Brexit red tape. That's damaging to business.

Or is it better for the planet?

Less trucks less pollution..

Yes we were under EU rules but we had already left the EU. Do you think we would have been allowed to go it alone if we were still fully in the EU? If so, why did none of the others go it alone? Were the governments of those 27 members badly advised or misled by the EU leaders or were our government forward thinking?

Given the choice, would you rather damage to business or loss of lives?
