If you want to stop the current surge, you need to vaccinate the current spreaders (teachers and school age kids, super market workers, nurses and doctors, workers on larger sites, etc). That's a different brief to the original one: just working down the risk groups. I guess it's good they're now immunising NHS staff sooner on that basis. Of course the UK could also do things like making masks mandatory in shops and public transport, something it still hasn't gotten close to in practise here in East London.
