No surprise there. This government has a history of over announcing and under delivering.

10 million jabbed by Easter more likely. :erm:

Expect at least 6 more months of lockdowns and tiers. :rolleyes:

Then again it could be something to do with this.

Looks like 10 million doses by xmas has gone out the window.

It's being made in Belgium, so why is the UK to blame for possibly not having 10m doses?
2 other vaccines are at the stage of waiting for approval.

Re: Coronavirus

I wasn't blaming El Gov. for the delay, just the overoptimistic forecasts of delivery as they did with the various testing regimes that still are woefully short of the predicted degree of testing.

So it's El Gov's fault Pfitzer have supply chain problems. Glad you cleared that up.

Re: Coronavirus

Not seeking to apportion blame but is the problem not that even if you got handed 10m doses of the Pfizer vaccine it'd be immensely challenging to distribute because of the temperature issue?

Other vaccines could move more readily through established distribution channels as with the seasonal flu vaccine.

It is, however, important that the messaging is realistic and levels with people.
