UK Covid death toll

[baggy1]

End of March I reckon Birdy, at that point we should have all of the vulnerable vaccinated and have the numbers in hospital down to less than 7k. 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.

I would imagine this number will be small and easily rectified, what scale are we talking about Dekka. The reason children are not included in the lists are because the vaccine isn't approved for use in children yet, I would imagine they are working on that.
