If the programme only achieves 1M a week, that would be an epic fail (in terms of the Tranches 1-4 done by mid-Feb target). Given you are an optimist, I suggest you change the rate to 2M in the tool.
Edit: I had a quick play with this yesterday (Monday).

I don't think it gave me the option to change the rate, just age and a few other questions.
I got the link from the Independent news site if you want a play with it.

There's an "advanced" tab or expander which lets you mess with them. 70% uptake is consistent with other vaccines IIRC. The number is lowered by not only refusers, but also people who can't take it due to other drugs and so on.

I had had a quick play with the tool (shared by @PeteXXX) yesterday (Monday) - https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/vaccine-queue-uk.
and simply changed the 1000000 to 2000000.
I have to observe the dates it comes up with seem erroneous to me (workings available). A 68 year old with no 'stuff' is in Tranche 5 (one of 3.4M) so if the vaccination programme hits its "mid Feb" target then Tranche 5 will be 'done' in the following 11 days (@ 2Mpw).
1) = 1.1M
2) = 5M
3) = 2.3M
4) = 3.3M
About 2.6M first doses given (13 Jan). Will need to get to over 2Mpw quite quickly (from less than 1Mpw now) to achieve target.
Add in police and teachers at some stage, perhaps.

"Dr Ramsay added that staff had been using the narrower needles from the start of the rollout.
"Doctors and nurses are routinely able to get a sixth dose out of the Pfizer vials, which are supposed to contain five, and an extra dose out of both the AstraZeneca eight and 10-dose vials.
"Dr Ramsay said the practice was commonplace but not uniform because it partly depends on the individual technique of drawing the vaccine.
"The extra doses were confirmed later in the hearing by Nadhim Zahawi, the minister for vaccine deployment, who also said wastage of doses – for example due to breaks in the cold chain – were "much less" than the 10 per cent predicted by NHS England."

Well, i wouldn't advocate any region not getting a fair and appropriate share but Khan at least will maybe understand the unfair appropriation of resources to London that generally occur vs the rest of the country.
