Like just about everything in this pandemic what's needed is clear communication from government, all we're getting is we're doing such a great job on vaccinating, how wonderful (and trying to claim it as their success when it's not, it's the NHS, local authorities, other organisations, volunteers etc. making it happen). And no clear messages on how it works or what you should do.
I sympathise with your dad's situation of course, but realistically the over 80s were never going to all be vaccinated in one go and the decision to start vaccinating people in their 70s has exacerbated the age inequality situation.
This lack of clear communication is evident even in hospitals, at least down my way, where there has been no schedule of vaccination published. This means that the 'free-for-all' self-booking system breeds discord, even between admin and clerical staff in same office.
