Its per 100 people, its based on doses to population. I had my second jab this morning, if i had given that to Billy down the road like in the UK it would be another person added to the 100 metric %.

It is jabs given per 100 people, you have been given two, they both add to the total....

If you have 100 people in the UK and have 100 doses, 100 people will be vaccinated per dose.

If you have 100 people in the EU and have 100 doses, 50 people will be vaccinated per two doses.

If it helps, the site I linked to yesterday has separate breakdowns between doses given and those who’ve had their second dose (in terms of % per population, per 100000 and the actual number).
 
before saying nonsense like that, please go and read how AZ and Pfizer were approved for use in the UK. If you can find the bit that says you only need one dose, alert the NHS.
You make the same comment every day though?

Its been made clear and obvious why the strategy was chosen. Making the same point daily about the Pfizer vaccine isn't going to change anything. The AZ vaccine works well off a single dose thats well established.

Yes, because the reminder needs to be given every single day.

There are between 1.5 and 2.2 million people given Pfizer more than 21 days ago, of which at most 500,000 have had a second dose in line with the guidance from the firm.

These people are among the most vulnerable, those who were highest priority in terms of who gets the jab. We are currently using them as part of an experiment, hoping that their protection lasts whilst we use the doses they should have had to give (edit) some protection to others. Pfizer themselves say they don’t know if this will work.

@davek posted Simon Stevens explaining why they’d done this, and I hope it works, but I do wish people would recognise what a risk is being run here, with a million people’s lives.
 
I’m sorry but I won’t be clapping at 6pm.

Not because I don’t like or respect Capt Tom but because I think it’s shameful how the poor chap has been hawked around and used, possibly with or without his full understanding and blessing... ultimately leading to his sad demise.

Ey?

Right, I can't get on board with this argument whatsoever, it's boring and just incorrect.

He decided to do a nice thing. Good on him. He wanted to try and help in his own way. It caught on in the middle of something we have never seen in our lifetime and likely will never see again. Not even Tom was here for the last pandemic.

People decided to donate, and that money went to the NHS Charities Trust. It did not 'fund the NHS', the government weren't ringing round old people's homes to get anybody who could still walk to do laps of the garden so they could buy some ventilators.

He was only 'hawked around' because back in March it was frankly one of the only good news stories there was. And it was a story. It was amazing what he did and how people decided to support him in their own way.

As for 'ultimately leading to his demise'. He was 100. I don't think him walking those laps in his garden finished him off.

Do I think clapping for the bloke at 6pm is gonna make a bit of difference? No I don't, but if people want to clap, let them clap.

The NHS wasn't going to run out of money if Captain Tom hadn't have walked in the garden. He didn't 'need' to do anything. He chose to do it, and there's a big difference.
