Good news. I've spent too long playing around in Excel and failing to find a good way to model/ forecast the Exponential curve of the UK's vaccine programme.
I suspect I might need some more statistically minded people, and I need to go to work.(/million)

I hypothesised that earlier. However it is the jingoism that is irking me. How can we be providing a less efficient roll-out than the privatised, failed HC system of the US?
So yes- the effort individually is incredible, but nationwide must be rife with inefficiency.

The second dose totals tally closely to the first dose totals from ~11 weeks ago, as expected. So if you want to predict the number of "fully vaccinated" on a given date just look at the first dose total from 11 weeks before.

The UK rollout is supply constrained. The distribution seems fine, or at least adequate for the volume of supply we have to distribute.
The second dose phase of invalids over 45 receiving their second dose is on the way. I've got to book my second this week.
