It's completely meaningless, though vaguely amusing. They're assuming 1M jabs a week but that's a figure simply plucked from the air.
But the claim is that we've vaccinated more than 500,000 people in the first two weeks, so it's reasonable to assume that if the number of vaccination centres can be doubled, possibly with the introduction of the Oxford University/AstraZeneca potion, which can actually be moved about, that in this case we could seemingly jab 1M people a month. Hopefully...Quote:

This also means that I have to have the flu jab every year.
Had the flu jab yesterday and now - as warned - I feel like I've been given a bad dead armQuote:

Further to my last post, she received a text message on Christmas Eve from 'OUH*-NHS' with a link which took her to an online form where she entered some details. Within a minute she received a second message confirming location, date and time (29th December), so can't fault the speed of the thing. Understandably, she's a little apprehensive about going through with it, as well as getting it sooner than others in more need...Quote:

Exactly. And more importantly, it means that when the pubs do reopen, he can be confident of not bringing the plague back to her.;)Quote:
