@FinancialTimes In the most recent week, there were nearly 1.8m first jabs given and it's been speeding up (apart from the weekend) 
@FinancialTimes This puts the UK fourth in the world at the end of last week with a vaccination rate twice the best placed other European county, Denmark
@FinancialTimes Why?
Experts say a combination of splashing the cash, approving the Oxford/Astra Zeneca vaccine, the command and control system of the NHS (often bad news, but good in this case)

@FinancialTimes But it's not yet reducing case rates for the oldest groups - in fact these are the only groups where infection rates have increased in the most recent week of data.
Suggesting it will take time for vaccines to work, they're not 100% effective and Covid-19 is back in care homes

@FinancialTimes So, there's still a long way to go before we see the end to infections, hospitalisation and deaths
