With luck there may be a total 15 million doses/jabs available in the next few weeks. But what happens after that?
With over 200,000 people testing positive every day, we need to vaccinate at least 1 million people/ day to get ahead of it. And it takes 2 doses of course.
With over 300 million people, it would take 600 million doses, so 600 days to fully vaccinate everybody at a rate of 1 million jabs per day. That's nearly 2 years.
Can we push it higher? Maybe 2 million jabs per day?
