Calm down. Don’t be hasty. Still an hour or so until tea time.

You couldn't make this $ho!te up! This is how they'll keep this farce running for ever. Expect a new version of Top Trumps to see who has the scariest sounding variants.

According to the website you linked, we are actually quite low down compared to EU countries, when it comes to % of people fully vaccinated - at 3.5%:

(as of 17/03/21)
UK has focussed on getting the first jab into as many people as possible hence less people fully vacinated.
In terms of the absolute number of vaccinations, the UK, which approved its first COVID-19 vaccine on December 2, nearly three weeks before the EU, is racing ahead with immunising its people.
I'm more than happy with the UK approach, According to the European press, Europeans aren't happy with the EU approach.

I don't know about other countries, but in France, you have to book appointments for both vaccines. If you can't book an appointment for the second vaccine, your first appointment is cancelled. I don't think the time limit between vaccines is critical.
Second vaccine for me is booked nine weeks after the first, and was automatically booked by the system.

In the UK it varies between systems. If you go through your GP they typically don't book the second jab at the same time. If you use the central website then you must book your first and second together.
In terms of vaccination rates there isn't a perfect metric, number of jabs per 100 people is pretty good, but that gets confusing now Johnson and Johnsons single jab vaccine is starting to become available.

Our son-in-law to be got the call up and is having his today. He’s 40 later this year.
Had a 'nuisance call' early yesterday morning along with a couple of texts.
(from a surgery outsourced private call centre rather than the usual reception staff - kerching!)
An interesting conversation...
I was told that I could be in the next 'wave'.
But that it might not happen for a while because of the shortage of 'vaccines'.
No skin off my nose of course, however out of curiosity I asked which one would be on offer.
'Not sure' was the reply. So I obviously declined the offer but asked why would anyone blindly get jabbed with something they had no knowledge of what it was?
'we really don't like people to opt out and when offered an appointment we don't want cancellations' was the next reply.
I then asked why if they 'didn't want cancellations' the surgery had cancelled a minor procedure I had waited some time for.
'They are running at reduced capacity in order to maintain social distancing and get as many vaccinations done as possible' was the monotone response...
I wonder if we'll ever know how many people with treatable illnesses will die in the coming years (or have already died) because of this 'reduced capacity'?
I politely informed the call centre person that should I change my mind I would contact them, but in the meantime please stop calling or texting.
'We can't do that' was the final response!

So we're up to three different vaccines that'll be used in the UK. The Johnson and Johnson one should be being approved shortly as well, but I haven't found info on when they might be delivered. That one is interesting as it is a 'one and done' jab, no need for a booster.

For all 'variants' of the 'virus'?
But which one will you 'choose'?
And how?
'eeny meeny miny moe'?
Are you sure you won't be queuing up for a different 'jab' later in the year?
Or next year?
Kerching!
Racist! We all know the next line to that.
You got something about tigers?
Animal cruelty. Just as bad.
