But at the end of last week, we exceeded 300,000 doses a day for two days.
Last week, I also said we needed to be averaging giving 2.5 million first doses a week to meet the government's target by the middle of February.
This week, we managed around 1.8 million, which is not quite there, but not far off.
If the pace keeps accelerating, we will hit that target.
However, I should say we shouldn't just be paying attention to how many doses we've given out, but also who is being vaccinated and where.
The rate does vary from place to place.
The most recent data from NHS England that was broken down by age suggests that 46% of over-80s in the North East had had the first dose of a vaccine, while in the East of England that figure was only 29%.
Now, that data is nearly two weeks old now, but it does indicate that the rollout has been proceeding differently in different places.
Scotland also appears to be vaccinating people more slowly.
By the 11th of January, only around 7% of those over 80 in Scotland had been vaccinated.
However, this seems to be part of a deliberate strategy, focusing on care homes first before the vaccine is rolled out into the community.
Care home residents are the most at risk, but there also aren't.
Thank you, Kate.

Hello.
Yeah, so for more than 10 months now, we've had this constant stream of the numbers of COVID cases and deaths in the headlines.
And sometimes it can be quite hard to step back and realise what's been changing over time.
So to boil it down, I thought we could cover the current situation in five headline numbers.
So this article said 1,325 people had died in the UK, the biggest figure reported in a single day since the pandemic began.
But the key word here is reported.
