I wonder if there's a site to track how many jabs have actually been given in real time?

It's an enormous undertaking in terms of just the physical logistics of it all.

I found these articles:

Rollout of Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 Vaccine Slows in U.K. Due to Allergic-Reaction Monitoring (Wall Street Journal)
Quote:
LONDON—British doctors say rolling out the Pfizer Inc. -BioNTech SE Covid-19 vaccine beyond hospitals will take longer than anticipated because of logistical challenges and complications thrown up by news in the U.K. of allergic reactions after the injection.

Following two severe allergic reactions on Dec. 8, the first day of the U.K. vaccination campaign last week, doctors were told to monitor patients for 15 minutes after each injection.

Logistical hiccups and the additional time required to monitor patients after a shot have added friction to an already-cumbersome immunization program and could signal challenges to come for the U.S. as health officials start vaccinating patients there.

Extra time required for observation means some U.K. doctors’ offices pulled out of the local vaccination campaign before it started Monday because they don’t have enough space to accommodate people in a socially distanced manner and still deliver the expected number of doses.

While all of these sites typically have paywalls for most of their content, it seems that you can view these articles even without a subscription. In the case of the Wall Street Journal, there is a pop-up, but you can click the X in the corner to make it go away and still read the article.
