Aye the twitter thread goes into a bit more detail, seems capacity to deliver hasn't increased in the 11 weeks since those jags went out. Or that's the speculation of the thread. Obviously got to concentrate on the 2nd does. However it's meant the roll out to new people has stalled considerably.

Grim Jim Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Tabby's UK page shows our vaccination rate is very similar to England's and a bit behind Wales. (Does Wales have an older population?) The 11 weeks ago dip looks where brakes were put on 1st doses to start 2nd. I don't see anything wrong, other than caution that supplies will continue to be adequate for "giving all those people 2nd doses soon".

He infers it from multiple sources here is the methodology. It's twitter unfortunately, but working the twitter thread is considerably easier than following the deduction process so it will gatekeep if you can judge the deduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Sounds like this "stockpile" he talks about is about 400,000 doses. Those could be used up in about a week. I suppose we could administer those a wee bit faster but I don't see any problems running with a buffer stock of about a week's supply. Some folk would argue that's too much buffer stock and I'm sure others think it's not enough. It's a tricky balancing act, what with the mixing of vaccines types not being approved yet, and the need to hold back enough for 2nd doses in order to ensure that they don't go over the 12 weeks dosing interval.

phart Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Over a million doses in the rough ratio of 44-55-1 AZ-pfizier-moderna rounding up. If we assume 10% of the UK supply from the 22nd April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, between Apr 12 and Apr 22 our buffer stock went up from about 400,000 to about 900,000. About two and a half weeks supply, which might partially explain why we have got back up to 50,000 injections per day again in the past week. Sounds like the supply chains are getting a bit more robust again after a wee blip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 For some reason I can link to the twitter threads. From looking simply at the numbers I thought the dropping off of first doses was simply because we lack the capacity to deliver any more. It simply looked like swapping one for the other. We were continuing to deliver a higher proportion of first doses than England into April because we were slower with first doses in Jan so didn't need to ramp these up as soon and England did. I hope I am wrong because we need to be able to deliver both now so really need to have double the capacity to deliver vaccine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the reasoning behind the tweets , the ability to deliver vaccines ceiling hadn't changed in 11 weeks and it wasn't supply that was the limiting factor.

It seems that way to me which is worrying. NS has been adamant supply is the only limiting factor and we have had months to ramp up delivery capacity. On the basis of % population it doesn't look to bad still but that will only last so long. Wales have done a much better job of balancing one against the other on face value anyway.

thplinth Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 For anyone thinking the vaccine was going to put an end to the restrictions think again it seems. 60% of the new cases (in Israel I think it is) apparently are from folk who have been vaccinated. https://rumble.com/vftpdz-dr.-harvey-risch-60-of-new-covid-patients-have-been-vaccinated.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He first said that it looked like vaccines cut infection by 50-60% which are figures I have seen and then went on to say 60% of cases had been vaccinated - call me suspicious...... No data is provided in this interview and so I will wait for the actual evidence. Edited April 25, 2021 by Lamia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 What will end restrictions is hospital ICU patient levels returning to normal manageable numbers. Having a large percentage of the population vaccinated should achieve that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just better hope that the vaccine's also reduce Long Covid because we could be looking at significant issues related to that long term.
