I rather interpreted that the other way round. The non-availability of immediate slots being accounted for by one or the other of:
i) those formerly available having already been filled by demand, and/or
ii) a lack of availability of a supply of vaccine (AIUI, supplies are being targeted to ensure differences in demographic across the country don't overly skew the performance) and/or
iii) similar to the above, a deliberate pause to allow re-alignment.
In reality, a surfeit of available appointments is more likely to lead to a hiatus (and I believe that is why, locally, With supplies, logistics and staffing available, the advice to await invitation was (temporarily, for over 65's) withdrawn, with an exhortation to just "go for it").
