According to the Covid vaccination calculator...

[PoptartPoptart]

I am due to receive my Covid vaccine in January 2022!
Ok, so I am lucky in the sense that I have no underlying health conditions and, being mid forties, my age isn’t against me (although I do work in a school).. but am I alone in thinking this is a bit of a ridiculous time frame?
And I guess that means people younger than myself (in their 20s and 30s) will wait even longer.
By the time the majority of us are getting the vaccine for the first time they will have to be starting the whole programme again for the vulnerable (assuming it will be a yearly thing like the flu jab).
Surely it doesn’t have to take this long?

There is Already a thread on this as it’s been pushed forward a few months for everyone.

I understand your logic. I imagine there are lots limitations at the moment that should be cleared out over time. Production and distribution always has a lag at the beginning.

For example the manufacturers know how many flu jabs are normally required each year and can plan for it. Plus it's not just the NHS that distributes the flu vaccine. I'd imagine they'll get faster and manufacturing and distributing it.

But I wouldn't be surprised if I don't get offered it for a very long time (just turned 30). And I wouldn't be surprised if the vaccine has been updated by the time I get offered it.

Worth looking at the above 👍🏻

I just had a quick look on the calculator. I'm 34, no health conditions, not a key worker, it says between Feb 2022 and July 2022.
