Yes same here, as soon as mixing vaccines was back in the news it seemed inevitable they were preparing the ground to do just that. Not had my first jab yet but think I'd be more comfortable if it was the same one for both.
I agree. Even the most loyal supporter of the government thinks that this is all about targets. I maybe wrong but the roll out is slowing down and suddenly it’s okay to mix? I won’t be having a different vaccine that’s for sure.
I assumed the number of jabs has stayed similar but with most now being second doses so the number of first jabs being given has slowed. I think they said that April would be mainly focused on 2nd jabs so guess we are still on track.
And our mob get mocked for having a flag in a government building? Where are all those voices now? All fallen silent again. Meanwhile her incompetence is costing lives. 100k deaths in France (hospital only... no care homes or homes) Germany/Italy/Poland also not doing to good. And all this unelected idiot can do is show off a sticker of a crumbling organisation. No wonder people don’t offer her a chair.
Okay, so I believe first doses have slowed but we are administering more 2nd doses. I was only looking at first dose figures. https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ccine-programme-could-slow-sharply-sage-warns
It’s ok to find an EU plaster silly without trying to re-write history on why the likes of Robert Jenrick get mocked for draping themselves in our flag or some people might see a slither of humour in the demographic constantly crying about freedom of speech piling onto a presenter making an exceptionally tame joke about it. How’s the EU crumbling going anyway? Looks like a lot of countries are making their own individual choices on different vaccines despite it simultaneously being all-powerful and powerless depending on which tired cliche you’re wheeling out on any given day.
I do respect and appreciate your frustration/anger over this. Hopefully you can understand why many in this country feel and felt the same over our incompetence and unnecessary deaths.
Eer those countries have decided that the commission has cocked things up and are doing their own thing. That’s a good united front. If they can do it better by themselves what is the point of the commission?
I do and mistakes were made but the unfounded comments by Macron has caused a lot more unnecessary deaths. It not just me saying this read some of the French press.

Cheers Col. As I said I just looked at the first dose figures and thought they were low. Let's hope it all continues going well.
Infection rate tumbles across UK The weekly ONS data is in and it is, as hoped, good news. The percentage of people testing positive across all the home nations has fallen - with the number of infections per 100,000 people also tumbling across the board. In England, just one one in 480 people are estimated to have COVID, down from one in 340 last week. In Scotland it is one in 500 (down from one on 410), Wales has one in 920 (down from one in 800) and in Northern Ireland it is one in 710 - a huge seven-day drop from one in 300.
Did warn you all that this would happen, as you can't keep the first dose rate up as high as it was, when so many people are coming for the second dose...I asked if anyone had done the maths. It appears that they had...so this "slow" down is actually factored in....and the final dates "every adult offered a jab before (end of) July" does take account of this. It doesn't take account of pharma slow down though, which has happened a bit, but with a few countries declining AZ, may actually change in our favour eventually. I have 99 problems with this government, but the vaccine roll out ain't one.
