Every UK adult could be vaccinated by mid-July - if these figures are anything to go by
For ordinary citizens with all the lack of clarity about which story if any is the correct one it’s no wonder people are losing faith in the pronouncements of the politicians

Mid July 2022 in Wales if we’re lucky!

Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
Its a pity Wales didn't have some time to plan and prepare for this moment .
All this work on the vaccine just appeared from nowhere.

What on earth is he saying here? If you’ve got a quarter of a million doses of vaccine then what you do is stick them in the arms of high risk Welsh people as soon as humanly possible 24/7 and if you’ve used them all up in a few days then that is a very good thing!
Folk have conveniently forgot Wales poor NHS before all this and then chuck in transport and education performance it suggests were okay putting up with it as long as we have a particular political party in power , no opposition , no challenges to under performance is unhealthy , same in Scotland , no one talks about their methadone and drug problems which are appalling.

Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
In all fairness although I have looked I cannot find any direct reference to Drakeford actually saying this., other than the twitter comment on here by a third person attached to a still of him in a briefing.
Can anyone actually find the clip of him if it was said on air or give a link to the the written statment?
Or is it deliberate fake news?

GPs in north Wales are being advised to consider delaying Covid-19 vaccine appointments early next week due to a hold-up affecting about 26,000 doses.

The Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisations (JCVI) believe both vaccines are likely to offer good enough protection with a 12 week interval between doses.

Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
Got my first jab booked in for Tuesday and my follow-up booked in for April.
It took 3 days of ringing to get through to the booking team due to the volume of calls that they were receiving... Make of that what you will.

this seems like cherry picking data.
I've been comparing England and Wales throughout the pandemic, and for most of it England has been higher than Wales . and I think if you look at deaths overall since the start England's rate is higher.
for a short period in December and the start of January Wales were higher

I thought it was pertinent to juxtapose those figures with Drakeford's comments that the deployment of the Pfizer vaccine in Wales is being delayed to prevent vaccinators having nothing to do if all the existing supply is used up.

Re: How Many Vaccines In Wales Today ?
So they vaccinate for half a day, stand around the rest of it so they can vaccinate the next half day and stand around the rest of the day ad infinitum. A friggin’ joke.

they aren't going to be standing around though are they as they'll just switch onto the Astra Zeneca vaccine.

Front line social care.
I just heard that they are introducing online bookings for certain professionals to help ease the burden on the phone lines too.

Mark Drakeford defends decision to delay deployment of Pfizer vaccine supplies on #r4today: "There would be no point and certainly it would be logistically damaging to use up all our vaccines in the first week and have our vaccinators standing around with nothing to do."
Not said a word about Astra Zeneca vaccine.
