Granted the UK was slow out of the blocks
Were we? I don't remember that.First country in the world to start vaccination and still miles ahead of every other big country (depends if you think Israel's 9m counts).
Has this quote been taken out of context or is RiseUp just badly misinformed?
Hence, Australia can hopefully ramp up numbers too because 6,000 a day isn't going to do diddly.

Maybe learn some English? Ta.

Most countries haven't yet found their way to the running track. Slow out the blocks seems unfair though, within a few weeks where we are (Aylesbury) had a large scale NHS vaccine site in a stadium and a pharmacy vaccine site in a local cinema, we now have a local university as a large scale site and this is just an average sized town.
The national site has just allowed my wife & I to book both appointments. 58 & 56 no underlying conditions. It didn't allow a couple of days ago so must have changed very recently. Recommend anyone mid 50s gives it a go.
Front page has not yet been updated and says over 60s only.

We, early 60's, booked last week when it was showing over 65's. We'd been told it was OK to book.Front page has not yet been updated and says over 60s only.

GP surgery called today to make sure we'd either had the jab or got it booked (we had it yesterday).

I was referring to the daily numbers when it was first rolled out. It took several weeks to start pumping out the massive numbers we see today.

The UK averaged around 20,000 doses a day during Week 1 of vaccine rollout. That’s hardly slow out of the blocks, it’s significantly better than any other country that I’m aware of. Hence, Australia can hopefully ramp up numbers too because 6,000 a day isn't going to do diddly.

Just acted on this - thanks for posting. I now have mine booked (56, no underlying conditions) - choice of about 10 places all within 10 miles. Went for the one with the easiest parking.Front page has not yet been updated and says over 60s only.

Lets me book and I am only 38? I had to say no to an appointment earlier this week when doctor called me. Should it allow anyone to just book?
Dunno what's happened there, let me book both appointments, doctor never offered that when they called this week and I had to decline! Anyway, booked in 1/3 mile away at Morrisons Super Vaccine Centre for 25 March and 10 June.
