I suspect that only large practices will have anywhere near the space to accommodate every person who is given the vaccine being able wait in a socially distanced holding area.
I also fear that the same will apply to the Pharmacies that the NHS were hoping to rope into the Vaccination process.
Our surgery is not really build for this type of programme so much so l had to go to another practice in the same medical group to have the flu jab done.

Where has it been stated that every GP and every Pharmacy was going to carry them out?
I don't believe that every GP Practice was every expeceted to be directly envolved with the actual vaccinations but the changes made to how the vaccination process will now have to accommodate the additional need to keep people on site for an additional 15 minutes will, IMHO, have a drastic knock on effect to the plans of how many vaccination will be possible and which locations can be used.
My old practice had 17 GPs and a raft of pratice nurses with the scope to carry our a lot of vaccinations if they could be handled in the same way as this years FLU vaccinations. Even though they could implement a one way system there is no way they would have the space needed to accodate, or deal with, high volumes of covid vaccination recipitants in any waiting areas, socially distanced, for 15 minutes.
The process to set up a collaboration between practices can be seen here:-
I know that we are all more concerned about the effectivness of what ever vaccine we will be offered but I thought the following article was interesting as great swathes of the world will have to seriously consider whether they can even afford to buy the vaccines.

Well now that London is impacted i am suddenly not sure this tier system is a great idea....
It's going to be a bit of a contrast with everywhere closed but lots of household mixing over Christmas. Not that it would be practical to prevent Christmas gatherings though.

Well lets face it London had special treatment by not going into tier 3, must have been some interesting figure fiddling going on to achieve that, any way enjoy

Expect plenty of hospitality businesses to go under. Christmas is their busiest time ahead of a lean period after New Year.
