Speaking to a pharmacist friend who is involved in the Covid vaccination process he explained that the challenge isn't just giving the shot. They can indeed quickly train people to give a shot. However, they also need to have the appropriate medical oversight, which seems like a good thing to me, and also they need to go to great lengths to clean the location between each shot.

You know how we're always slightly annoyed when the press or civvies say to the aviation community "Well that doesn't seem hard..." I think we have a similar case here. To steal an approach from one of our wiser PPruners, best wishes to all the boys and girls behind the scenes and front of house responsible for planning and delivering safe Covid vaccinations to our family, friends and of course ourselves.
