Gimme More 35,802 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 All adults in the UK will be offered their first dose of a coronavirus vaccine by the end of July, the prime minister has pledged. More than 17 million people have been given a jab since the UK's Covid vaccine rollout began in December 2020. But Boris Johnson said he now wants the programme to "go further and faster". He said the July target would allow vulnerable people to be protected "sooner" and would help to further ease lockdown rules across the country. NHS England chief executive Sir Simon Stevens said there were "early signs" the vaccine rollout was contributing to a fall in hospital admissions. The PM is due to hold a final meeting with senior ministers about how to ease England's lockdown later, before he sets out the full "road map" on Monday. A speedy rollout of the vaccine to all vulnerable people is seen as critical to reducing the pandemic's death toll and relieving pressure on the NHS. The government's previous target was to offer all adults the first dose by September. The new plan means that by 15 April, all adults aged 50 and over, as well as younger people with underlying health conditions that put them at higher risk, should have been offered a jab.

homomo 23,883 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It’s so great to see the efficiency of their vaccine rollout. Now, only if Ireland could catch up. We are slowly getting there, but it has been a painful launch. 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are slowly getting there, but it has been a painful launch. Well its not easy. Governments dont have full control over how much supply comes in and when Governments made their contracts. None of us knew who would develop a vaccine first and who gets the short end of the stick with stuff like delays is kinda luck too Ppl keep criticizing the PM here in Canada but we kinda did everything we could. We have contracts for more doses per capita than any other nation but its not pur fault we keep getting handed delays by companies we cant do anything about plus at this time we cant produce our own yet and have to rely on imports and u cant blame that on current government. Over decades previous governments allowed us to loose vaccine manufacturing capacity and the one in power now cant faily just take all that responsibility for mistakes made decades ago Ppl like to blame everything on world leaders but sometimes there are things that are out of their hands and we as citizens when we criticize and hold them accountable we have to be reasonable too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
