Hesitancy I’d guess. Read a bit about lots of hesitancy in heavily religious groups.
This suggests Arab-Israelis and Hasidic Jews have very low take up:Israel's COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout Is Slowing at a Critical Moment. That's a Warning for the Rest of Us
Double jabbed a decent number at least. Hopefully that same hesitancy won’t be shown here....maybe the Indian variant might be the kick up the arse some needed (always like to take at least a small positive out of a potentially shitty situation !)

Really frustrating hearing about those eligible just not getting it when some of us are still waiting for the first one.

That's a good film. Take it back!
I'm sorry, I can't and won't take media lessons from anyone who apologises for Peter Rabbit 2.

The latest overpromoted stuffed shirt cabinet member who did the rounds of TV studios today seemed to attack councils for doing what the PM announced on Friday?
Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, was on TV and radio this morning as No 10’s minister for the media. Here are the main points from his interviews.

- Kwarteng appeared to criticise health officials in Bolton for allowing young people to be vaccinated early. Asked about reports that they were vaccinating “anyone who wants it” in the town, and whether he approved of this approach, Kwarteng said:
- He said he thought it was “very likely” that all coronavirus restrictions would be scrapped on 21 June, despite the threat of the Indian variant. Asked if he expected the full reopening to go ahead in England on 21 June, as proposed in the government’s roadmap for easing restrictions, he said:

I mean the second that a variant pops up that’s different enough to be resistant to the vaccine, we are fucked. Why don’t we do an Australia and just close the borders?

They should do. Close the pubs and other acts of socialising so we can go back to being a healthy nation.

From the Telegraph
Downing Street is no longer promising that conclusions of the social distancing and Covid passports reviews will be announced this month, citing uncertainty caused by the Indian variant.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman said at a briefing of political journalists this afternoon that there was no "set time" for those announcements to be made.
Yet Boris Johnson had set out a time frame only last week, saying an update on whether social distancing will continue and Covid status certificates will be needed after June 21 would come later in May.
The change in position reflects the new uncertainty created by a surge in the Indian variant of Covid-19, which early data suggests could be more transmissible than other variants.
Number 10 was also unable to confirm that a decision on relaxing rules on weddings would be made on May 24, despite Mr Johnson also saying that would be the case last Monday.
The decision to no longer pledge announcements by the end of the month will raise concerns that the June 21 unlocking could happen on a smaller scale than hoped for just a few weeks ago.
Government figures have stressed that early data suggests the Covid vaccines remain effective against the Indian variant and urged people to get their two doses when eligible.
