You don't need full uptake to have a dramatic impact, and there should always be consent.

I think that's an important part of the debate to cling to. By all means, run convincing campaigns for maximum vaccine uptake... But if it becomes mandatory, we're heading down a very dark path.

I don't think it's an issue though. Mass rollout - however you shake it - is going to be a several-year-long process just on a purely logistical level. It'll be a wait for healthy people who WANT one to be able to get one, let alone those opposed. I think there's a perception that we'll be able to roll out millions of doses over night. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the administration capacity for that. The nature of this Vaccine (complex storage, injection into the muscle, dosage etc.) means it needs to be given by a medical professional so having 20 million doses is all well and good, but if you don't have the available medical staff, the process is going to take time.
