UK has vaccinated abit more than rest of europe, because it started a few weeks earlier.

The reason why?

UK has over 100k dead to covid19
In london they are a week or so away from hospitals being overwhelmed (ei. cant treat everyone, with covid).
Yesterday alone 1564 people in the UK died to covid.

If the UK counted deaths (not just those tested positive before death, and within 28days of covid), its actual death pr 1million, would be around 1500 or so.
In Denmark our death pr 1million, is around 286.

UK has over 5 times as many dead, pr population, as we do in denmark to covid.
That said, good on you guys for being ahead of the pack when it comes to vaccinations.
Overall I think most countries in the EU will be finished vaccinateing around the same time periode (as the UK).
The limiting factor is how many dosses of vaccines you have comeing in, not who started a week or two earlier.

Thanks for the update. Your celebratory tone is quite amusing. 

So is claiming victory over covid, due to starting vaccinateing a week or two earlier.
As a result of brexit.

The limiting factor will be how many vaccine dosses you have.
Not when you started, a month or two from now, UK probably isnt further ahead than other EU countries in vaccinateing.
