Just seen this on the gov.wales site. Some impressive statistics and info regarding the vax programme. Latest figure is 34,000 more which is fab,
As the total vaccinated exceeds more than 523,000 today, this now means almost one in every six adults have had their first dose of this life-protecting vaccine.
As Wales’ plans to protect the nation continue to grow, here are the latest stats: [as of Friday 5 February]
more than half a million people across Wales have received their first dose - this will rise to 600,000 within a matter of days
that’s the same as filling the Principality Stadium in Cardiff seven times or the Eirias Stadium in Colwyn Bay 86 times
…or someone every four seconds
of the top 4 priority groups, Wales has vaccinated:
83% of over 80s
62% of 75 to 79 year olds
34% of 70 to 74 year olds
and more than 112,400 frontline health and social care workers
Wales is on track to have offered vaccinations to those eligible people in the top four priority groups by mid-February, if supplies continue at their current rate
around one third of everyone in the top 9 priority groups have been vaccinated too
last week, Wales vaccinated more people per population than any other UK nation
weekends are the busiest time, especially for primary care vaccinators. This means it can take a few days for data from these days to be uploaded
there are at least 34 mass vaccination centres open across Wales at any one time and most are open seven days a week
six more mass vaccination centres are due to open in the coming weeks
we have more than 400 GP-led clinics – the original target was 250 by the end of January
More than 17 hospital sites are also providing vaccines
very little vaccine has gone to waste, less than 1% has not been used. This is exceptionally low, and thanks to the committed workforce delivering this precious resource
