Of course, this is the initial aim and I guess it's be more work than some expect. Also who will get the jab (or maybe two jabs two weeks apart)? BTW 5000 adults a day with Britain having about 45 million of them that's 9000 days. A bit of a scale up will be required. "NHS to vaccinate up to 5,000 people a day in Covid immunisation drive Thousands of hospital staff to be deployed in mass inoculation with jabs by GP surgeries Thousands of hospital staff will join the drive to vaccinate all adults in England against coronavirus and will be deployed at mass vaccination centres to give the jab to up to 5,000 people a day, NHS officials involved in the plans said. The NHS intends to use football stadiums, town halls and conference centres in England to inoculate at least 2,000 people each day. The new facilities will be additional to the 1,560 community-based vaccination centres run by GPs, which will dispense 200 to 500 jabs a day. All the venues will do temperature checks on people before entry allowing space for social distancing and a 15-minute recovery time. However, seconding personnel from already under-staffed hospitals to aid the vaccine rollout could lead to patients having to wait longer for care. The NHS is already facing a massive backlog of cases due to its decision to suspend most non-Covid care provision in the spring." www.theguardian.com/world/2020/nov/11/thousands-of-hospital-staff-to-be-deployed-in-covid-vaccine-rollout |

^^^ I saw that headline earlier. It's confusing. It's actually trying to say that individual centres set up in football stadia &c. will each vaccinate up to 5000/day. On top of that there will be vaccination at GP surgeries.

TheGuardian has
"The NHS intends to use football stadiums, town halls and conference centres in England to inoculate at least 2,000 people each day."
which suggest in total 2000 each day.
That's on top of
"The new facilities will be additional to the 1,560 community-based vaccination centres run by GPs, which will dispense 200 to 500 jabs a day."
Again it suggest a total of 200 to 500 a day as there is no 'each' in that sentence.
Anyway, what I was trying to indicate is that vaccinating millions of people takes planning, logistics, and above all time. A real pity that these jabs can't be provides as simple capsules. Would be much easier to reach millions.

The Grauniad has updated its text:
"Thousands of hospital staff will join the drive to vaccinate all adults in England against coronavirus and will be deployed at mass vaccination centres, each of them aiming to give the jab to up to 5,000 people a day"

And someone to kick them on the bum to keep the line moving Of course the workers\ comp claims for RSI will break the bank. |

Of course in America things are much more organised. All Hail Trump for his promises and don't be as naughty as to remind him later  "“The delivery will be very rapid,” Trump promised. “We’re ready to go. The vaccine will be distributed to frontline workers, the elderly and high-risk Americans immediately — matter of weeks,” Trump said, in what was billed as an update on Operation Warp Speed, the $18 billion public-private partnership to develop and distribute a coronavirus vaccine to the American public. “Millions of doses will soon be going out the door. They’re all ready,” Trump said of the vaccine doses awaiting deployment. “Waiting for that final approval.” Moncef Slaoui, one of the two leaders of Operation Warp Speed, elaborated on that promise. “We plan to have enough vaccine doses available for use in the U.S. population to immunize about 20 million individuals in the month of December, and another 25 to 30 million per month on an ongoing basis from there on,” Slaoui said. That number could increase come February or March, he added, as other vaccines become available. " news.yahoo.com/twenty-million-americans-will-get-a-covid-vaccine-this-year-administration-says-234030786.htmlExcept for New York of course which didn't vote Trump anyway ""We won't be delivering it to New York until we have authorization to do so," he said. Cuomo blasted Trump in a subsequent appearance on MSNBC: "He uses the government as a retaliatory tool. That's what he does."" news.yahoo.com/reclusive-trump-emerges-boast-vaccine-232823447.html |

Well, vaccination has started, progressing, but as expected progressing a bit slow (at first).
"A really good start to the vaccination program. It’s been 7 days and we have done: England:108,000 Wales: 7,897 Northern Ireland: 4,000. Scotland:18,000 U.K Total 137,897. That number will increase as we have operationalised hundreds of PCN (primary care networks)"

The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine requires two jabs, 28 days apart. I don't doubt that the NHS will be able to cope even if there may have been some initial logistical problems. That was to be expected.
I'm more worried about Trump's America.
What happens if you get the first jab, but not the second one, or get the second one late? Would that mean you're not protected, or likely less protected, protected for a shorter period? Anyone having info on this?
