'Take this with a pinch of salt', but here's a online calculator.
Vaccine Queue Calculator for the UK (omnicalculator.com)

p.s. It seems that anyone told to shield should get a jab Feb to early March

Seems this calculator has altered and no longer gives you a timescale.

Looks like anyone under 50 will have to wait until much later in the year to be vaccinated

Who will get the vaccine first?
Broadly, vaccines are being given to the most vulnerable first, as set out in a list of nine high-priority groups, covering about a quarter of the UK population.
They are thought to represent 90-99% of those at risk of dying from Covid-19.

1. Residents in care homes for older adults and their carers
2. 80-year-olds and over and frontline health and social care workers
3. 75-year-olds and over
4. 70-year-olds and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
5. 65-year-olds and over
6. 16- to 64-year-olds with serious underlying health conditions
7. 60-year-olds and over
8. 55-year-olds and over
9. 50-year-olds and over

People aged over 80 in hospital, frontline health staff and care home workers have been the first to get the Pfizer jab at 70 designated hospitals hubs across the UK.

Vaccination has now begun in care homes, which the government announced on 23 December.

The second phase of vaccination will focus on the rest of the population, mainly the under-50s, who are much less likely to be ill with Covid-19.

Teachers, transport workers and the military could be prioritised at that point, but more data on how well the vaccines are working will be needed before that decision is made.

It could be well into 2021 before this phase begins.

Melton Mowbray pies are not proper Pork Pies they are just pies made with pork.

I know Queniborough well Ken.

Don't let those upstarts get to you with their inferior pretender pies. Pork pies were invented in Melton Mowbray, as was pork.

It's working ok at the moment, although they have changed the time scales with the new vaccine.
The odd thing is it seems .gov have actually delayed full protection for many, I'm now down as may/june for second dose, gf is down as sept/oct whereas previously we where both down as april/may.

 

[rugbyken]

i think the new policy is to give single dose to as many as possible giving more protection , figures quoted were first dose gives 91% protection 2nd dose gives 96% so rather than 2.5 million on 96% going for 5million on 91% 2nd dose can be given up to 12weeks after first

If you eat too mny of those you might not need a covid injection !

That seems to be in dispute.
For the Pfiser jab, it's 52% for one dose, then they say they don't know if it will work if left longer than 3 weeks.
The Astrazeneca jab still seems to be 70% after two doses, so I'm not sure where .gov are getting their info.

Whichever way you look at it I wouldn't hold your breath on things relaxing any time soon, or being able to travel around more freely.

The logistics are humungous.

The omni vaccine calculator currently:-

Rollout of vaccines
Vaccination rate - 1 million per week.
Time to vaccinate everyone - 2.1 yrs
Uptake - 70.6%

Like I said before, batten down the hatches and as you were Corporal Jones.

Pffft! I laugh at your puny pie!

Just back on topic for a minute, does anybody know what the timescale was for the 15 million flu jabs they aimed for this year?

 

[Wully]

ken shoosh you’re giving away very crucial information there those Pies are the only things stopping me from voting to leave the union.

Guess who was the first to come up with the plan to give the 6 million jabs as a single dose was Tony Blair he said it a couple of weeks ago along with jab all the students and the ones more likely to be high spreaders first.

 

[jagmanx]

Not him Wully Me..
Way way back I was saying close schools for that very reason..OK no jab available then !
Anyway Pork Pie and whisky time !

The suggestion a few days ago by various main stream media (and govt.?) was that the important 15 million or so folk who need the vaccine most (to help lift some of the current restrictions) could all be done by the end of February.

Personally, I think that's overly optimistic, but I would love to be proved wrong.

Guess we just have to wait and see what pans out, like everything else that's happened this last year!
