They have the vaccine to administer because of the government actually forward thinking for a change so one wouldn’t work without the other

We’ll wait and see, it’s all well and good giving however many people their first dose, but if they **** up and miss giving people the second dose it’s all for nothing

People are already booked in for second doses, so unless there is a massive supply failure or people don't turn up I can't see how it can go wrong?

[Shaun]

With vaccination? Yes. That's one consolation I suppose.

Hmmmm well, I suppose I haven’t heard the words “massive failure” and “this government” in a sentence together during this pandemic, so yeah you’re right I’m sure it’ll be fine

[bitontheslide]

i've been pleasantly surprised at how well it has gone. Credit where it's due to all those involved.

[joeysteele]

Yes they are.
Which I'm happy is the case so too.
This, they've got right.

[DouglasS]

The U.K. government are world leading with their vaccine rollout. Astonishing work, Boris and his government should be rewarded for acting so diligently and being incredibly well prepared.

Other countries around the world are in awe at how well we have done and some are actually bitter about it.

[Tom4784]

They do seem to be picking up speed with vaccinations at least, but the government aside from the furlough scheme has **** the bed for the most part when dealing with this pandemic.

Given we've had access to the vaccine since December, it's grim it's taken this long to really get a lot of people vaccinated. They should have been ready to kick vaccinations into high gear from when we first got them.

seems to be a bit slow in Scotland

You do realise we are the second fastest country in the world per population? There are 195 countries. I really don’t think we could have been any faster or done any better...

We pre ordered the first and third approved vaccines (out of about 30 at stage 3) straight away and have logistically managed to vaccine as many people as possible per the supply demands.

I feel it’s a bit pedantic to try and say we should have been faster or vaccinate more people.. I mean can you look at this chart and say that with a straight face... really.. no really? Don’t let any biases show

[Toy Soldier]

Speed of roll out yes. 2nd dose shenanigans, not so great.

[Withano]

Yeh. Their poor leadership caused 100k deaths, but their reaction to the vaccine should hopefully stop killing the next 100k

[Cherie]

A brand new vaccination programme cannot be kicked off with speed, it’s has to be rolled out slowly in the first weeks to catch any issues with mass roll out, imagine mass vaccinating in week one and many having allergic reactions or worse
