It's worrying ...

... when you read an official government COVID document and realise you would have sent it back for lack of clarity if it had come across your desk at work.

And I don't mean not explaining scientific terms, I mean I can't tell at least half the time whether it's referring to the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable group, the Clinically Vulnerable group, or both. As it's talking about who gets the vaccine and when, these aren't small questions.

Where else can you go for the information?

It's the official definition of priorities for vaccination from the vaccine task force. They're the people defining the information! Or rather not defining it.

It's still draft, but seeing as we just authorized the Pfizer vaccine to roll out next week it's extremely unlikely to change before it goes live. But I was reading it to comment for another Disability News Service article, and we already seem to have had an effect with the last effort, so maybe we can get it improved.

Aargh! They've released it this morning, because we've authorised the Pfizer vaccine. Except they haven't, it's a completely different document to the one I went through last night. It solves my major issues, but reintroduces some of the stuff I thought they'd cleared up since the first draft back in September.

I think today's doc may be the press release/precis of yesterday's, but it doesn't explicitly say that and they're different.

HOORAY.
