Re Plummeting Vaccination Rates - Maybe It Does Make Sense

Posted on the 16 July 2021 by Markwadsworth @Mark_Wadsworth

I had been puzzled/disappointed by the rapid decline in daily vaccinations, from peak 600,000 down to less than 200,000 now.
Actually it does sort of make sense - if you overlay the charts for first and second jabs, offset by three months you get a good match.
In other words, at the end of March/early April they had run out over-50s to vaccinate, so they then shifted focus to second jabs, so we'd expect the number of second jabs (by definition, for the over-50s) to decline at the end June/early July. It's a shame they are not pressing on with younger age groups, but hey, they are less affected so less likely to bother getting a jab: Re plummeting vaccination rates - maybe it does make sense
