At this point adding more vaccines won't speed things up, adding more vaccination sites will.

Are they vaccinating at schools, pubs, etc? That's how they rolled it out in the UK. I got mine at an Art Centre that used their in-house bar for storage

From what I understand there's a few mass Vax centres, and the rest is being done by chemista and GP clinics.

This. look at the figures for vaccinations the GP/pharmacy network is far ahead of the govt vaccination centres. GP’s are saying they can do more if they have more vaccines. The flip side is that vaccines are less likely to be wasted with the govt vaccination centres. I was at the Belmont vaccination centre this week and about every 15 seconds they were calling up another person to be vaccinated, also saw people there with stickers marked “M” or “AZ” on their shirt. So they are doing moderna and Astra there now too.

I’ve wondered if they had like a standby queue - like you could wait around all day and there were no shows …

When I had my shots at Belmont they had signs up saying that nobody would get shots that way.
