I'm sure the are, think the issue is lack of vaccines in the country
is this in regards to changing the time within doses, or something else?
Comes into force tomorrow anyway

Spot on.
Very worrying considering the government are going against the advice of Pfizer about the length between jabs.

"Some employees at the emergency department had received a Covid-19 vaccine just days before the incident. They had not had their second shot before they were infected".
Edit. 240 Israelis found with COVID after vaccination ...

The UK has secured 40 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, seven million doses of the Moderna vaccine and 100 million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
If there was no wastage, that's enough to vaccinate the entire population and then some
They're all coming/or already here.
It's on the government and NHS to sort out the logistics of getting them out there.

It isn’t - the issue is that the government think it’s possible to change plans on the fly, to bring in lockdowns with advanced warning of less than a day, or to change how dual jab vaccinations are going to be carried out after people have had the first dose.
Someone once said “no plan survives contact with the enemy”, but this lot destroy their own plans before the enemy get involved- which is a problem, as the plans are invariably written and exercised by people who know what they talk about.
Okay, I agree, kind of.
No office workers are going to be forced to go in. I may lose one of my jobs because the office I work at part-time is closing, I'll find out today. It's in construction, which is essential - and construction absolutely is essential as it encompasses a wide range of things - so the sites will be open. However, office wise they can work from home so for now I've been told to stay home. Hopefully they're willing to invest in having the software I need set up remotely. But I don't know, as I'm only freelance.
Outside of office work, or stuff that can be done online, it's not a case of people not going into work because they can't afford to. It's that they have to go into a place of work to do their job.
The issue for people who have been 'excluded' (i'm one of them) is that they have never had support since last March. That is due to how the packages of support - which if you can get them are good - are built up and qualified for. That's what needs to change, yet MPs are too thick to ask the right questions even when they are in touch with the excluded group.
There is no way the current SEISS - which will have to carry on beyond April - should now be using data from 16-19 tax years only. For example, I've paid my self-assessment for 2019-20, so the evidence of my earnings is now with HMRC. Yet I won't get anything. A freelancer who works for the same company as me did qualify in March and has now had three SEISS payments, even while being able to work once the sport fully clicked up again. He's not doing anything wrong, he's getting what he's entitled to. Yet on a technicality and a random selection of doing things, I get nothing, and will continue to get nothing. There's a lot of people like me, and in a worst position of having to support a family etc, so that's what needs to be fixed.
So are Germany's government

other things as well, but the doses one is the most obvious

Pretty fair to suggest Germany response has been better than ours.
From more adequate PPE, track trace at home, compared to our UK Government sanctioning use of out of date PPE, not so world beating Track and Trace.
And to death numbers, Germany near 35,000- UK near 75,000.
Trust is and going to be big issue, you cant compartmentalize the various virus responses for political and the convivence of national pride.
Yeah I mean fair enough on the logistics side, I have no confidence in them
But I can see why they've tried to increase roll out with the dosage and the second one is a booster.
We're also not the only ones doing it, as @Billy Dean said yesterday -
Germany now looking into possibilities of increasing length of time between doses and also if they can get 6 doses out of 1 vial of the Pfizer vaccine rather than the prescribed 5.
