It's been very easy to have a pop at the government in recent times because of their bumbling incompetence and outright corruption but you have to give credit where it's due and they appear to be doing pretty well with vaccinations.
We all might have predicted that they'd farm out the job of vaccinating to some awful private company, run by one of their Eton schoolchums, a company with no prior experience in the medical field, giving them £25 billion up front only to discover the company messed up in some predictably terrible way such as leaving an unrefrigerated containerfull of vaccines in a car park or something.
But they haven't. They've left it to the NHS and the NHS are doing a great job under very difficult circumstances and we should be very pleased and grateful of the job they are doing, even if we have some minor grumblings about how they're doing it. Overall, the NHS are doing a great job.
OK so there's a bigger gap between doses than neccesarily recommended but they're getting more people 60% protected which make a massive dent in this crisis for our frontline workers and most vulnerable, bearing in mind that your normal annual flu jab gives you 70% protection, that's still pretty good.
All in all, we need to take the positive news where we can get it so lets count this as a win for us as a nation.
