I think it unlikely that in the near future that we receive 10 million doses at most. Is that to immunise 5 million people as 2 doses required to immunise each. If by the end of the year we are able to immunise 5 million people there will have to be a decision on who they are offered to.
Personally I doubt we will immunise as many as a million by end January.

The vaccine will first of all be offered to front line caring staff. That has always been the plan. It will then progress to the extremely vulnerable and so on down the line.
Whether that applies to all countries of the UK, I have no idea.

Maybe. I would guess at front line caring staff getting first call but, if I was giving out the offers The extremely vulnerable would not be next inline as they are probably isolating to a degree and therefore less likely to infect many themselves. With limited vaccine I would rather target such as to reduce spread than sav an individual life

I think the idea is-each person who has underlying or immuno issues represents a quandary for those who’ve taken a vow to try & save all Human life. The very nature off their issues suggests they have very little chance against the covid virus but the health care professionals will give their all to try & save them. As no one can morally be asked to decide one person is less important than another, add to that they will/could fill beds/ventilators.There lies the quandary,
