I’m aware of that. The government appointed people that got the job done and can’t be denied crowing about the fact.

I don't really understand why the booster jabs are being administered in less locations. Perhaps because less of the population need them so less resources have been assigned? It's strange after seeing how well organised the initial jabs were.
FWIW I'll be getting mine at the same South London clinic I had the first two jabs.
Trying to decide what I think about this:
The head of the Oxford Vaccine Group has suggested that the UK should stop asymptomatic Covid testing in schools. Prof Andrew Pollard told MPs on the Commons science and technology committee that it was “absolutely critical we keep children in school”.
"Clearly, the large amount of testing in schools is very disruptive to the system, whether that is the individual child who is then isolating because they tested positive but they’re completely well, or because of the concerns that that raises more widely in the school – we’re aware of families taking their children out because someone’s tested positive in a school. So I think there is a huge impact of widespread testing in schools.
I think probably we need to move in the pandemic, over this winter, maybe towards the end of the winter, to a completely different system of clinically-driven testing. In other words, testing people who are unwell rather than having regular testing of those people who are well, because that does drive a lot of these actions that happen, particularly in schools, if you have lots of asymptomatic testing."

Covid has had a huge impact on kids education and I completely understand the importance of trying to minimise the disruption in schools. On the other hand focusing on testing only symptomatic children seems likely to increase the risk of infection in families.
(I may be slightly biased as a sibling tested positive this morning following both kids catching it - for one of them the sixth case in that class this week)

I think they do in this case because the vaccination roll-out was their only success. People forget their incompetence in all other areas of the pandemic. Given a mild winter they may get lucky again, but Johnson is a risk taker and he is going to run out of luck eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later…

Forgive the pedantry but it is fewer locations.. not less. We must preserve grammatical correctness, even in these difficult times.. Our civilisation is at a crossroads..

Fortunes will have been made, fortunes mean big Tory party donations and Party donations mean more Tory peerages.I liked the comment from the Committee Chair "...that the Dido Harding-led test and trace programme treated taxpayers as if they were “an ATM”."
