They expect that the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine will be approved today - and they are planning to try to do a million vaccinations a week!

Can they not work out that would mean that it would take about two years to vaccinate the population?

One theory might have been that, once they have vaccinated the old, the vulnerable and the NHS, the problem might be over - but the South African mutation is, I believe affecting younger victims, as well as being more infectious.

If we can organise polling stations for the whole adult population to vote in a day - why can they not vaccinate two or three million a day?

The Covid pandemic is costing billions ¿a month? - so a vaccination program would save a great deal of money.

Well 68 weeks which is still a long time. But the more vaccinations they do the less the risk to the rest of us so things will improve.I imagine it is not only difficult to produce that much vaccine but also the logistics would be a nightmare especially as we would still have to socially distance. Polling stations are very busy places so you couldn't get as many in there at any given time. All this takes more time.

Everybody will need two doses - so it would be over two years.

I'm glad the oxford one is arriving, I have to wait for it because I'm allergic and can't risk the pfizer one.

The Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine is a modified virus, and the Biontec/Phizer vaccine is RNA, which has produced anaphylactic reactions in at least two people.I think that they concluded that anyone who might react to get the vaccine in a hospital - where they ha facilities to cope with any reaction.

and some formal training or health profession trained people needed to give jabs - not polling clerks
