    That calculator is utter rubbish, it's based purely on the current vaccine supplies, it doesn't take into account the future ramping up of Pfizer/Moderns supplies. Nor does it consider the addition of AstraZeneca supplies.

    Best to ignore it completely, I actually have no clue how it's gotten so much attention.

    Yes i predict youll get it on time. I think the rate of vaccination will speed up as the organisation / capacity gears up and up

    Completely agree. What’s with all the morons tweeting this sh1te, and commenting about how long it’s going to take?

    I hope so but I wouldn't count on it. Do you have a destination in mind? I have a feeling many places will be enforcing mandatory quarantine by September, and very few (if any) will have reached the vaccine cert stage.

    Really hard to know. I know you want to go, but I reckon you'll just have to wait and see. At least it isn't a huge loss financially if you can't go. What sort of price is travel insurance that includes do not travel due to WHO recommendation/ disaster?

    Even with vaccine there are still chances that quarantines will be retained, your issue is more vaccination levels in Poland than here. The vaccine helps to prevent you getting the virus, it does not prevent you carrying it.

    To be clear the vaccines goal is to stop you getting sick, it doesn't stop you getting infected.

    There is some positive data but time will tell if vaccinated people can infect others the assumption is yes but as of now there is no data to say otherwise but it is likely to be less infectious the question is, is that by 1%, 50% or 100%.

    Its wait and see, by Easter we will have a much better view across Europe as to what the Summer will be like.
