So controlling everything just isn't possible with such a complex product.

On the other hand, Marge has just had an offer and arranged her first vaccination for 23 March and has also managed to book her second one for 9 June.
She doesn't know which vaccine it will be yet.

This suggests that vaccine production cannot keep up now that
more countries are actually ordering the stuff unless we accept
the vaccines from a wider supply base ??
Donkeyman! 👎🤔👎
It has also been said that we would soon see the numbers ramp up to even higher levels than those seen previously as production recovers and as new suppliers begin production.
"NHS officials have told GPs to prepare for a slow-down in vaccinations in the week beginning 8 March - but deliveries the week after will rise sharply to around double the level seen in the first week of this month."

Re: Covid-19 Vaccinations
I have read in the paper this morning that 'our friends' in the EU are banning exports of the AZ vaccine from Holland to the UK. People, naturally, seem to be up in arms about it, but surely don't we make our own AZ vaccine in this country? After all, we developed it.Why should we be bothered about the EU not sending us theirs?
