My point was there must have been a plan of action to either take the residents to a facility for their inoculation or take it to them when devising the roll out strategy?
I know going out anywhere is a risk but at the moment being in any care home is high risk too.

We have created a world of problems for ourselves transporting the vaccine from the EU I see, it's now a military operation as the ports are overwhelmed due to Brexit.

This is Karmic retribution, what happens when you sever ties with your closest neighbour and ally? You put the nation ato risk in an international crisis.

The issue has been sorted now as the regulator has ruled the batches can be broken down and taken into care homes, so one again the media jumping the gun and creating an issue where there isn’t one

Injections start 8AM on Tuesday

So it's gone from 95% to 90% wasn't the astrazenica one that too? Why hasn't that been approved we have previously ordered 100 million doses of that and it was the cheaper easier to transport one wasn't it ...
The public put 20 million into that so where is it?

I hope they get this right... if I were them I would work with the care quality commission to draw up a local area authority map of care homes and allocate a hospital based on the proximity to house the vaccine and distribute it accordingly via mobile units.

Where did the story originate that care homes were not in the initial group for vaccination?

It was 90% as in the OP

Astra Zeneca has not yet been approved as half doses were given initially followed by a full dose which was an error as it should have been two full doses, but the half dose proved very effective so they have gone back to look at this again, this was reported at the time, the regulator expects it to be approved by the end of the year

Here it's reported as 95% :/

That's great news if a half dose is as effective as a full dose isn't it? That means we effectively could have double the 100m doses we ordered.
I remember reading it was particularly effective on the over 65s so that's excellent news. Fingers crossed that is approved shortly.

I think it would be naive not to believe that for at least the next year being vaccinated will cut alot of red tape, not least having to test for covid before you leave the country
