4th February Very poor interview by Nagga of the government minister responsible for the vaccine role out. In trying to get him to commit to timescale for the vaccination of groups 5 onwards she insisted on using crude maths using the “back of an envelope” calculations. No account was taken for the administration of second vaccination requirements. No acceptance was given for the fact that the UK vaccination program is one of the most successful in the world with Nagga attempting to be critical of every aspect. With regard to the timescale of the role out there is a web site where individuals can input their age and address and it will give you an idea of when an individual will receive their vaccine. My wife is in group 4 and was vaccinated on Sunday, I am in group 5 (age 67) and received my notification on Tuesday and was vaccinated yesterday. This is in Derby and I personally know of many people in group 5 from numerous GP practices who are now being vaccinated. Other areas are also ahead of schedule and moving on to the second phase. In recent months Nagga’s interview technique has become aggressive and she refuses to listen to answers given by ministers without interruption. We are finding her increasingly annoying to the point that we are switching off and listening to Radio 4.
