2nd jabs will slow in 2 weeks, mirroring slowdown in 1st jabs in April. This should give capacity to increase first jabs. I reckon they will try and vaccinate 12-16 year olds before summer school hols.
I think we are going to have to be careful until mid July until more 2nd jabs given. Only 10% of hospitalisations have had 2 jabs, and I would guess that some of these are people with frailties.
Agree with all that KKC, I see that Germany have started giving jabs to kids now so it should be announced soon for us I reckon. People have to realise that there will still be deaths from covid even with both jabs because it isn't giving immunity, it's giving people more of a chance to fight it. But the 10% figure is positive as without the jabs it, in theory, would be many more.
I'm desperate for the restrictions to be removed entirely but I think most people will understand the reasoning behind any delay if the numbers start to go in the wrong direction and we need to put the brakes on for a few more weeks.
