Delay was meant to be prevented with a surge of vaccinations, what happened?

Posted at 11am UK time

The UK’s vaccination programme continues to be successful, however, the latest figures are completely at odds with what the Government promised. Today’s figure, 420,699 doses, is in line with the performance of the past few weeks. It is a worthy figure, but not even close to a surge of vaccination that the Government pledged to keep the now broken promise of June 21st on track. Instead of beating the ‘Delta’ variant in a race with mass vaccinations, the Government have given up altogether by prolonging restrictions once again in the latest disappointment of this never-ending lockdown saga.
