Worth remembering aswell that Boris has not promised to vaccinate 15 million people (the over 70's) by mid-February - he has promised to invite them to be vaccinated by this date.
All he has promised to do is send out 15 million letters.
Remember last May and the Tory's promise to test 100k people a day - they got there by sending out thousands of tests in the post a couple of days before.
Spin spin and more spin.
I thought England were at 2% and we were at 2.2% but may have heard incorrectly.
Really?
Wales is way behind. My Mum is having her’s on Friday but most elderly people haven’t heard anything yet.
By contrast, where I live, everyone’s parents that I know have already had theirs and are booked in for the second shot.
Wales looks to have truly messed this up in comparison to England.
Well let's wait for the stats , I mean matt Hancock?
Fecking Tony Hancock

What a tosser drakeford is , can't believe this latest news
I think you are nit picking here
If Johnson and his mob live up to to their promises about getting the first four groups vaccinated by mid February, then they'll deserve credit for that, but, for me. it would be like scoring a goal when you're 5-0 down - the damage has been done as far as they're concerned so it's definitely not a case of falling for "machismo" for me.
However. just because I'm more aligned to Labour politically, that doesn't mean that the WAG are immune from criticism. The amount they were behind in the vaccination process wasn't huge, but it's early in the process and if it continued at the rate seen so far, the gap between Wales and the other three nations would become a very significant one quite quickly. Hopefully, there's been a degree of catching up going on in recent days, but that doesn't make Drakeford's "this is not a sprint" remark any less crass and misjudged.
If theres a huge amount of these included in Johnsons 13m plus by mid February then hes taking the entire UK for complete mugs.
People need vaccination not letters. Lets hope if they cant get to a centre they are vaccinated locally very quickly. Fail and please Johnson quit.
My cousin is an NHS worker at UHW and got hers yesterday, not front line either so seems strange there is such a wait.
350 million, and just for clarity, it wasn't a Tory Brexit bus it was just a Brexit bus. But you know both those things don't you?
My father in law is 96, not heard a dicky bird yet
Same thing350 million, and just for clarity, it wasn't a Tory Brexit bus it was just a Brexit bus. But you know both those things don't you?
The medications regulatory authority put half of the vaccines on hold , they couldn't have been used even if the capacity to deliver them had been there .
Drakeford is useless but up the M4 the mad march hare is in charge
If any of you feckers think he's doing a good job or believe anything that comes out of his gob you are as stupid as he is . He's taking the piss and is even more useless than drakeford
If Labour get voted out in May you will soon see what shite is !
Good luck 👍
£350m week does not equal 300bn does it?. My poor maths tell me the figure should be 182bn.
A Plaid-Lab coalition is more likely than a Tory government if Labour fail to get a majority
Of course the Tories have made mistakes - massive ones on test and trace and PPE in particular. Other mistakes include confusing messaging, being slow to react and the lockdown arrangements which have been far too lax. The mortality and case figures are worrying and the UK record is statistically poor. Compliance with the rules has also been a major factor; apparently far too many people are putting their civil rights above all else.
However the government has done well in backing and securing the different vaccines ahead of many other countries. Why they set the February target to offer vaccines to the first 4 groups was plain daft given they are so reliant on the manufacturers delivering the vaccine as well as the government's history of over promising and under delivering.

So the same sort of 'promise' as England.
The interesting thing will be how many actually vaccinated. Over 50s by 20th March sounds great. Unless the offer of an appointment is for next winter.
86k vaccinations given in Wales now according to the new daily figure.
I don't see anything wrong with the promise of offering vaccines for the over 70s by mid February and the over 50s by 20 March as the government has no control over those who refuse the vaccine. Obviously the public will not be fooled by offers of appointments weeks ahead of the target date. In order to meet any target relies, not only the arrangements governments have made, but on the manufacturers ability to manufacture, package and delivery their products on time.
I guess they have trouble getting the vaccines to hospitals.
My 82 year old mum has been in Hospital since Boxing day, first the heath now Llandough and no sign of the vaccine for her.
I can see why Mr Drakeford said it wasn't a sprint.
I have lost faith in our Governments during this pandemic. Totally inept all of them .

Well I think its fair to say I am left wing but if the Labour Party had a vote of no confidence in the front bench of the current Welsh government and got rid of drakeford I would be a lot happier
Hes not good enough and no leader
I would have that Rebecca Evans , the current finance minister , bright woman
