Covid vaccine: How many people in the UK have been
vaccinated so far?
More than 36 million people in เล่นเกมสล็อตฟรี the UK have received at least one dose
of a coronavirus vaccine - part of the biggest inoculation programme the country
has ever launched.
With the aim of offering vaccines to as many adults as possible by summer,
the government says the continued success of the vaccine programme is one of
the four conditions needed for further easing of restrictions.
Who can get a vaccine now?
First vaccines are now being offered to people below the age of 50. Those aged 38
and above in England, over 30s in Northern Ireland, those aged 40 and above in
Scotland and the over 40s in Wales are all being invited to book appointments.
The rollout has expanded after the UK government hit its target of offering a first jab
to everyone in the top priority groups - all those over the age of 50, plus those
in high-risk categories - before 15 April. These groups account for 99% of coronavirus
deaths so far.
The government plans to vaccinate the rest of the adult population, another 21 million
people, by the end of July.
People will be vaccinated in age order until all those over 20 have had a first dose.
Has the rollout been even across all areas?
Across the country, there continues to be some variation in the vaccine programme.
Scotland has vaccinated 90% of those aged 40 and over with at least one dose,
while Northern Ireland has reached 88% and Wales 89%.
England, on average, has vaccinated 90% of the same age group, with the South
West reaching 92% and London 81%. |
