The only concern I have is the reasoning behind the delaying of the 2nd dose, I understand that giving all vulnerable some protection gives a greater headcount protected, but I would rather have followed the original guidelines of both doses within three weeks because that is what the experts recommended.
All the vulnerable? Children who are vulnerable with conditions including cancer, disabled, neurological problems (between 40-60% more likely to die / suffer serious problems due to Covid than other young people) aren't even on the list and there is no timescale / roadmap out of this what so ever at the moment for them or their families other than put them at risk. Whilst the news on vaccines is welcome the system is letting the youngest and most vulnerable down currently.
Can you detail how you would have administered the roll-out more effectively? The government has made mistakes in this process and I'm sure there are inefficiencies but you'd have fuggin whinged if everyone in the country hadn't been vaccinated within the first two days of receiving the first shipment.
