With almost as year to make plans how has our government so massively ****** up the vaccine rollout?

We are only managing to vaccinate 200,000 people a day yet there are 438 towns and cities with more than 20,000 people in them. That's a pathetic 457 per town per day or just 19 people per town per hour. I remember when I had my tb vaccination at school they did 3 classes of approximately 30 kids each class in a 40 minute lesson.

How has it been ****** up so badly? We should be able to vaccinate 2 million a day without breaking sweat.

 

Because of your experience at school?

 

I'm hoping the rate will speed up.

 

But but but but Corbyn , Labour.

 

Expand on that?
Do you believe that 19 people per town per hour is quick enough? There are roughly 100,000 GP's and dental practitioners in the uk. If each of them did just 10 vaccinations each in a day we would be doing 1 million, as it stands we are managing a pathetic 200,000

 

Should give it to check out staff at Aldi - be done in an hour!

 

I agree but that's not really the point is it. We shouldn't be in a position where people are now having to apply to be allowed to give vaccinations and just hoping that they will be able to ramp it up (where have we heard that before?) With 9 or 10 months to plan every single person capable of giving vaccinations should have been contacted and been cleared months ago and a set procedure should have been in place. Instead we've got a berk in charge being advised by idiots who may have qualifications but haven't got a clue how a world works

 

I know that's a joke (and a funny one) but actually it just goes to prove my point really. Aldi know how important time is and so they put things in place early on to make things quicker. Simple boxes with a barcode on every side for example meaning that the checkout staff don't have to waste time looking for it. A streamlined process where you don't waste time bagging up at the till, a button any operator can press to call for more check out staff to come and that announces to customers which checkout is opening long before an operator is there.

If our idiots had spent any time at all planning then they'd have vaccination stations ready to go, teams already allocated to go round and blitz the care homes etc. It seems that instead of planning anything the vaccine shocked the government and they had to react to it

 

I thought I had read somewhere that, whilst we have plenty of vaccine on order, manufacturers are struggling to keep up with demand for the vials ( the little glass bottles that it is supplied in which, I believe, holds six doses per bottle).
From memory, I also think these are made in Belgium.
Barmy really. To think Rockware glass, in Doncaster, for example, are on continental shifts making Coca Cola bottles. Why can they not switch production to vials?
Then dispatching was a problem.
Demand Amazon do this with their extensive fleet of vehicles and drivers. They owe this to the nation given we turn a blind eye to their colossal tax dodging.

 

It`s coming , it`s coming, It`s coming, it`s here oh fcek

 

So by your analogy you think it’s realistic to vaccinate the whole country in 34 days?

 

Yes I believe they did say we had forgotten to acquire any vials. Beatsin Clarke could have knocked out enough to supply the entire nation in a few days.

 

No because as you get a smaller pool of people it slows down. We should, provided there is enough vaccine available, be able to do the

Do you think the current rate is quick enough and shows enough planning?

Matt Hancock stated this morning on TV that he expects us to continue at our rate of 200,000 a day eventually getting through all adults by autumn. No ramping up, no increase in spread, just a steady 200,000 a day for the next 9 months.

 

Which other European countries are doing better in terms of rollout?

 

I don't care, I don't live there.

 

It will speed up in time. It’s quite interesting that Johnson is selling the fact that the UK is vaccinating ‘first’ as being a major success. What is actually shows is the failure of Govt policy to manage the pandemic.

Setting aside the basket case countries (USA, Brazil) the UKs failure to need to vaccinate so quickly is directly linked to the huge number of cases/deaths in this country.

There’s an interesting comparison with those Countries that have managed Covid rather better- Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, who are sitting on loads of vaccines but are deliberately not rolling it out until they have seen the impact of hasty mass vaccinations in the ‘failed’ countries.

it must be a nice luxury to be able to do that.

 

I’ll expand on it once... not going to get drawn in to the droll troll any more on a match day.


Your stats are designed to look like there is someone just giving out 19 jabs in each town... which you know is incorrect.

Schools vaccinations took years to develop and sort.

There wasn’t a national lockdown at the time.

Not all people asked to have the vaccine are going for it... due to them not having faith in it.

The vaccine is difficult to handle and needs proper containment. They are rolling it to more places each day.

The rest of the world would be vaccinated if it was so easy. We are pretty much top of the list....

Here’s some real stats for you to peruse.

Matt Hancock said on TV that he, as health secretary, expects us to maintain the current speed of 200k a day for the next 9 months

 

None of what you said excuses the failures of your friends.

 

They made bottles, not medical grade vials.
