I suspect the plan is to hold onto lockdown as long as possible (Easter, potentially later) at the same time as ramping up vaccination. I think they want this to be the last one - better to do this one for 4 months than for 3 and then end up having to increase restrictions all over again.

They probably want to get the most vulnerable groups onto their second doses.

While there's optimism about the vaccine against other variants I think they want to see that in the real world, which in lockdown conditions could take a while to become clear.
