You try. 28M have had the 1st dose.
Correct, but 2 jabs make up a vaccination, which means 28 million odd have
half their dose. You're supposed to get the second within 6 weeks, which rapidly turned into 12, so as to
get the number. Which does make sense
if you can
guarantee you get the second, within 6 - 12weeks, already I'm reading people are being given 13wks plus. Not to mention the "been offered by May, June whatever" statements, I know of people over 50 their appointment for first jab is May!
Now what is unclear at present is what happens if you go beyond 12, 13, 14 weeks.
This issue now isn't how many have been jabbed, but how many can they jab for a second time, within the now 12 week window and keep the rate of vaccination going for the remaining 30 odd million and deliver their second jab. All this why on the continent the S Africa variant is growing, if allowed to unchecked it will get here, as Boris told us yesterday and our jab isn't as effective some reports put it as low as 50% . At present they just don't know.
The point is, us just racing off in the distance doesn't grantee us safety, in fact it could be the opposite, i.e. we've packed in haste and forgotten the passport! Until Westminster types understand there's no quick win and we're all in the same boat, ok so their ends sinks bit quicker than ours, but the boat still going to sink!
The real driver here is do we protect people or money, that's the real question the Western World has to answer.
