a system rife with inefficiency
Is it really fair to call it that given the numbers being achieved?
I'm sure it could be more efficient, especially given there seem to be umpteen ways to get invited to have a jab, but in the wider context...

It's alright @Jimm. The uptake and therefore the likelihood of overspill ad hoc vaccine seems to vary by location.
Seems there are vastly different reactions when I mentioned to another member who wanted to be vaccinates that they could try turning up at a vaccine centre at the end of the day to use up any unused vaccine.

It's alright @Jimm. The uptake and therefore the likelihood of overspill ad hoc vaccine seems to vary by location.
For example- our local centers seem to have pretty epic queues, and seem to be fully booked-from ride-bys - but I know elsewhere has had reduced uptake and therefore have been keen to fill slots/ use supply. Certainly the volunteer vaccinators are pretty likely to want to utilise stock- rather than throw it out, and I feel there's a little competitive streak in there too. cf countless news pieces on Janet X who vaccinated 200 people today, etc.
FWIW -anecdotally- the roll-out for 'frontline' staff was rolled out similarly- with extra supply being sent with a vaccinator to departments to ad hoc vaccine anyone who met criteria.
Second dose Pfizer was a brute, for me. But it settled down soon enough.
Get your vaccine, don't be a dick in either direction- either judging others for seizing an opportunity in a system rife with inefficiency- or being that jackass who demands a jab in their local A+E.
