@JLeslie Even if the UK said, “Yes, we will administer the first vaccination,” I doubt that I would accept. Currently, the 2nd vaccine is being administered within 12 weeks, and by that time, I’ll be back in the US. Even with UK-issued paperwork stating the first vaccine is completed, there is no guarantee the 2nd will be issued in a timely manner or without resistance in the US.
Right now, the UK’s push seems to be the head of the class when it comes to having all residents vaccinated and in a logical order. As long as the UK stays ahead of the EU, it implies that Brexit was a “good” decision. Thus, ensuring that jabbing citizens first puts me in the back seat, even if I paid for the shot.
As a side note, my partner received the notice to schedule his vaccination appts. I did it for him, all online. It was simple; plug in the post (zip) code to find the closest location, schedule the date/time for the 1st shot, and then a list of available dates/times and locations for shot #2.
