Drakeford's stupid comments about 'not a sprint' etc seemed to be the stimulus WG needed to get a move on, all be it through the adverse publicity it generated. And to their credit the roll out in Wales has accelerated at a great pace. Yes, I give them credit for that and especially those who organised the logistics, the manpower, the venues etc.
716,000 having a first dose is terrific, but so far only 4010 have had the complete course ie 2 jabs. So as well as continuing vaccinating the nine top priority groups, 712,000 people will require their 2nd jab within the next twelve weeks. This seems a huge challenge, especially for Wales as we have done fewer 2nd doses than others parts of UK, so I hope WG continues its current strong form.
