There are only 500,000 doses available for the first week of Jan according to Hancock's statement in the commons a few minutes ago, so it will be a while before everyone gets their first dose.
“Where we stand today is we have four million doses available right now and we've got enough active that we think we will be able to make a further 15 million available to the UK by the end of this year. Subject to regulatory approval, it could actually be 19 million doses by the end of this year (to the UK)."
That seems like something has clearly gone wrong, if more than a month ago they were in that position and now we are so limited by available dosage.

> Sources at the NHS expressed frustration at the situation. "The NHS is ready to go, but we can only go as quickly as supply allows," one said.
