1.5 million people vaccinated already - brilliant!

[buttery81]

They’ve vaccinated 1.5 million people so far and the target is 13.9 million people (the top 4 groups in the attached graphic) by the middle of February, according to ITV. It’ll be a fantastic achievement if they can hit that target.

The government will be providing daily updates on the vaccine rollout progress from Monday 11th January.

It’s such a relief that they’ve got this vaccine and are rolling it out quickly across the country. Considering that it’s only 8th January today, I truly feel like 13.9 million by mid February is achievable.

Come on, let’s do this!

And... there were 343,163 reported vaccinations yesterday - our best figure yet!

To hit the mid February target we need to be vaccinating 357,000 per day, so we’re not far off.

Go go go!!

I had mine today. Yahoo!!!!
I’m a carer it was all arranged through work.
Went to local hospital all very efficient. Job done.

Excellent!!!

The woman that did mine said she does one every three minutes! And she does a 12 hour shift.

I had plumped for 5 million to be hit by Wednesday so with 4,609,740 on the board maybe we’ll fall marginally short of that, but likely within 25,000 once the numbers for today get reported tomorrow.

I can live with that though

next question predictions for when we will hit 10 million

And... there were 343,163 reported vaccinations yesterday - our best figure yet!

And...this is up 65% on the figures for last Wednesday 😁

Just caught up with a colleague who had her first today at a vaccination hub, she told me there were three coppers who not only sneaked in but queue jumped! Utter scamps

One jab every three minutes!

I don't think anyone predicted that was possible

You are aiming big. 10 million I like it

I say 10 million by 4th February

Great vaccination numbers for today! Cases are down too. Deaths were awful but cases hit their peak on 8th Jan so I’m hoping that deaths will start going down in the next couple of days.

My prediction for 10 million......

Tuesday 2nd February!

(Note - that is the results announced on 3rd Feb giving details of up to and including 2nd Feb.)

I like the idea of the 4th as it’ll be bday so nice present :)

Is it around 1.7m a week what we’re doing ?

I’m going for 3rd February for 10 million! (As in, 10 million announced on 4th Feb as the latest figure up to and including the 3rd). Bring it on!!!

Reaching 10 million will be such a huge, huge moment.

Our target is 13.9m by 15th Feb?

Our target is 13.9m by 15th Feb?

That’s correct!

Who guessed 5 million today??

And I'm one of them, there was two vaccines left at the end of the day today and I was the only volunteer left who hadn't had one, we dragged a passerby in out of the rain for the other!

For all the crap about track and trace and issues last year, this is the single most important one to get right, the vaccine!

Nothing else was ever going to set us back to a more normal life again than this. So I for one am glad the government made all the right decisions at the right time to get this done.

Can I just wanted to share a heartfelt thank you to everyone on this thread. I'm really struggling at the moment - almost a year of trying to keep positive is now failing. This thread is a beacon of fresh air and positivity.

Thank you

This is brilliant @lunar1 - made my night!!

Should hit 10% of the adult population vaccinated (first dose) either tomorrow or Friday. (UK adult population is around 53 million, so 5.3 million).

Well the gauntlet has been well and truly thrown down for when we’ll hit 10 million

3rd or 4th Feb seem reasonable, but with more locations opening up I’m going to plump for 2nd Feb (so reported on 3rd Feb).

BRING IT ON !!!!!!!

Every care home and every over 80 in my town is done as of today they are aiming to do all over 75's next week! Amazing speed I'm really impressed.

Just fabulous that so many people have been vaccinated! Just the rest of us (and the second doses to go!)

What an uplifting thread 😀 It’s cheered me up, I didn’t realise we’d done 5 million!

That is fantastic @CoffeeandCroissant!

Brilliant @BeakyWinder!!

I love your optimism @boys3. I cannot wait until we get there - it’ll be here before we know it!

I thought they keep saying it is 65 million?
