I think the rules are a little different over there and have to interact with EU stuff. As a consequence there isn't going to be a brobdingnagian difference between the UK vs. US vs. EU.
Ultimately, that said, the important thing is not to start vaccinating first (though that's obviously a consideration); it's to vaccinate a large mass of people quickly. Starting before logistics are in place are a good way to gain some short-term win-the-press-conference vibes but would mar the bigger picture.

There could be some valuable lessons out of the UK before we start vaccine distribution on what works and what doesn't work.

The distribution process has gone through multiple dry runs.

This makes me feel a LOT better about the distribution plan. I still feel they are late with these steps, because they could have done almost all the training and "dry runs" on a "at-risk" basis (not knowing which vaccines would actually be approved and available when), but at least it appears they are doing it. Looks like they have the "right people" on the job.
