That's only possible because the UK stole vaccines from other countries. Way to go Old Dart, you done it again.

true brits true grit

So 40 million to go

Suckers!!! 😂😂🐑🐑🐑🐑

When do we get the new normal

No good though is it, when we have hundreds of illegal Covid infected immigrants arriving along the south coast!? No wonder the rate of Covid infections are rising in Dover!

What is it with the people who are so keen to gleefully put down their own countries efforts? Are you really that self-loathing?

I fucking haven’t 🤬

Over 65 20m in front no sign of a vaccine yet. Plonkers; telling folk to get vaccinated when not offered is a tad frustrating; and wearing a little thin. No idea when 1st one will be; likely 2nd one will be next year at this rate. Still nice having some youngsters who have had it

20 million idiots.

And? It has side effects and I've been well for 12 months and still well 🤔 😉

Great , everyones freedom of choice.

My wife in so much pain after the Pfizer vaccine this morning.

Too slow.

So we'll be hitting over a third this week spot on

I wish I wasn’t expecting the “but”...

This is a game changer. What else are they lying about?

My first dose was cancelled due to providing others with their second dose. I'm a key worker that works with vulnerable adults niceone

With individual freedom now coming to a permanent end with COVID passports will the nearly 20 million part vaccinated Brits require an extra dose for their vaccine passports as the 1st will not have been recorded? Or are the vaccine passports already active? Asking for a friend

tracey_crouch my daughter was cruelly turned away from getting her vaccine today at a centre in Leybourne today, grilled in front of people about her mental health conditions till she was in tears. She was put forward by her GP for the vaccine and had a booked appointment!

A long way to go yet. Hardly anyone has had the second dose.

There is no pandemic!

Shocking and tragic. Just wait

“Some underlying health conditions” Why not all covid related underlying health conditions?! Oh yeah I forgot, the government is shortening the vulnerable list in order to speed up the vaccine programme 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. SamuelEddy_

Really, feels like none at the moment.

Wow ,subscribe

This success with the NHS vaccine program doesn't outweigh his 'apparent success' with Covid. Quick to claim the credit but finds it impossible to take the blame he's culpable for our worst death toll and no UNDESERVED headlines change that BorisJohnson has failed us all...

But... What about the second one?

How have we suddenly slipped so far behind the EU? UK started three weeks before and were leading them but now EU given over 40 million - and not just first doses. What has gone so wrong? Is there a vaccine shortage after all? Are people not coming forward?

RashellTamina So when are we going to catch up with Europe with the second dose? borishasfailedtheuk

Well good luck with that! Hope there's no long term effects.....as nobody's liable!

could you please ask the government about the £22 billion of taxpayers money spent on track and trace? Otherwise you are reduced to cheer leaders for the success stories

About time they started on the vulnerable people in my area - they still haven’t started on the clinically vulnerable in group 6.

There are still ethnic minorities in the UK that are refusing to have the vaccination. Why?

What's the point?

Amazing progress almost a third of the population

And yet 2nd dose is at a trickle. Ministers not answering the question of whether they can ensure people will get theirs, spells trouble.

Rarer than hens teeth...

But... will it calm the imminent rebellion? Did you put a bit of valium in it?

None of this will benefit you....DARK DAYS AWAIT YOU ALL Insha Allah

I'm one of them now thanks to St Barts NHS and lots of friendly volunteers vaccinatiecertificaat

That’s great news. And the reason we should be opening up much sooner than June 21st.

Well done, NHS workers! 💙

On Saturday 27 February 2021, 7,434 new cases and 290 deaths within 28 days of a positive test were reported across the UK. A total of 19,682,048 people have now received the first dose of a vaccine. coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) COVID19 UK

Only another 120 million doses to go, then

I hope every single person in the country has it apart from one.

come on, we know you lie but come on, come on the beeb, stop the BS for once, just for once. that's basically 1-3 people and there is no way on planet earth that's a true figure.
