Covid 19 vaccine vaccination numbers, why won't they tell us?

[MG2020]

I've been looking for a few days about the number of people vaccinated in the UK. However, this appears to be some kind of secret.

Does anyone know how many people have been vaccinated and how many vaccinations we have in the UK and what we can expect by mid Jan 2021?

I fear this secrecy means that things are not going to plan and when Matt Hancock said the other day that tens of thousands of people had been vaccinated, it was far from true.

You may recall the figures about Covid 19 tests when we were told x amount of tests were carried out but they failed to declare that everyone had at least two tests and many NHS staff and others in hospital were being tested several times a day therefore 100k tests may have been 20k tests in reality.

I want the jab and so do our children but both are severely allergic so we are praying for others to come on line ASAP.

[quote alreadytaken]@Hobbesmanc thank you for relating your experience, felt I needed to counter that negativity too.[/quote]
Oh thanks- when I saw that post- and a message I got accusing me of all sorts I felt really upset. I just wanted to let people know how the system will work. Like hundreds of thousands of people involved in Health and Social Care, theres been a lot of bad news- so I wanted to share the good.

Ah just ignore the miseries here - as far as I'm concerned every person getting the vaccine without side effects is a little good news story.

I started this thread several days ago, close to a week. I just knew this lying, incompetent , selfish gov were not giving us the figures becuse it was another fiasco. Now the press is saying the mae and exactly what I said EG it would take 30 years to vaccinate hlapf of the population at current rates of vaccinations.

Enjoy the 5 days of viris spreading and the shopping in crowded shopping areas and watch what happens after christmas and the following weeks. To give you an idea, look at the USA and the aftermath, ongoing aftermath of the Thanksgiving.

IMHO, this PM should be charged with murder if the rates of the seriously ill and sadly those did shoot up as it's down to the fool for going along with this and as always and don't forget that like most politicans he is not thinking about you enjoying xmas but his poltically career and if you think different, then you need help IMO.

How about getting realistic jab levels where the uk could jab about 30% of her population in ten years?

Several had a go at me saying enjoy the moment of the vaccine jabs but I knew that this lot at number ten specialse in f-ing up everything with false promises and they could not organsie a p up in a ...........

@Waspnest

So..... is this thread about the vaccine or not?

what do you think??? So two weeks down the road, how many have been vaccinated??

Now the press is saying the mae and exactly what I said EG it would take 30 years to vaccinate hlapf of the population at current rates of vaccinations.

What 'press'? And 'current rates' aren't going to stay the same, are they?

To give you an idea, look at the USA and the aftermath, ongoing aftermath of the Thanksgiving.

I thought it's now been shown that rates were already on an upward curve in the US and that Thanksgiving did not significantly affect that trajectory?
Once the Oxford vaccine is approved - which may be as soon as next week - rates will speed up considerably.

And that is why vaccination speed is accelerating and planned to do so even more after Christmas.
Do you always fall for Daily Mail scaremongering or only in relation to covid?

I see the OP is still desperately floundering.
Here's the information that you claim the govt is keeping from us
www.gov.uk/government/news/more-than-137000-people-in-uk-receive-first-dose-of-covid-vaccine-in-one-week
It will updated weekly.

1 more vaccinated from tomorrow. Dh got a slot. Can't believe the relief. He's NHS and has had close colleagues on icu. He said he will be 50% protected after tomorrow. Can't wait. Best news all year.

Their inpatient covid rates are rocketing and he's dreading January.

Roll on the Oxford vaccine. Can't wait for my parents to have it.

OP, I don’t believe you’ve missed every single post where someone explained to you the idea that the vaccine rollout is supposed to ramp up. And that there are limited numbers of the Pfizer vaccine, and that it has difficult storage and requirements.

If you were that concerned about wanting the vaccine programme to be a success this should be something you notice, surely? It feels like you are less interested in how the rollout is actually going and more interested in running around in circles shouting SHAMBLES FIASCO MURDERING INCOMPETENTS!

‘So two weeks down the road, how many have been vaccinated??’

Half a million by the end of the weekend. An awesome achievement in anyone’s book.

Wow that is awesome for sure and especially as we aren't using the oxford vaccine yet

Fantastic

Excellent work by everyone involved

Looks like the Oxford vaccine will be approved by the New Year which is good news.
A close family member is a phlebotomist at our local surgery in a semi rural area. She’s being trained up and prepared to start vaccinating at the local GP surgery from the 27th December.

That's fantastic news. I think they were expecting a gap in vaccine availability otherwise. We only have so many doses of the Pfizer vaccine, with more coming but the extra doses aren't here yet.

Am sure there will be relief that this vaccine doesn't need to be kept so cold!

That is a table I am very happy to see us at the top of

Ah lovely

340k and vaccines, only 50k left. We need to jab at least 3 million people a week but there is no chance of that because of our incompetent government :(

We can't actually blame the government for that one right now. The amount of vaccines we need just aren't available right now.

Whose government is competent then? Spain? They haven’t vaccinated anyone yet. Italy? France? No vaccinations there. China? Are they competent? Russia? US? Who should we be emulating in terms of vaccine roll out?

So now you've switched from saying they haven't vaccinated enough to saying they've not got enough vaccine - even though that is beyond their control.

Just be straight with us and tell us what your real agenda is here. Because it's not about vaccinations, is it?

‘340k and vaccines, only 50k left.‘

Where have you heard that? It’s the opposite of what I am hearing elsewhere, which is that we have enough to keep us going to the end of January.

Thats an interesting one, Johnson promised millions of vaccine by Christmas, we aren't going to get that.
If we cannot get sufficient vaccine, then perhaps the expectation shouldn't have been raised?

I think the Oxford vaccine is the one i am looking forward too, i hope it will be approved but i did read somewhere they had to re do their phase 3 trials, if so, can it still be approved before these are completed?

Can anyone explain why so few countries have approved any vaccine? surely you'd have thought they'd all be queueing up to get their populations vaccinated.

Yes me too
