16.8 million people vaccinated already - brilliant!

[buttery81]

This is a continuation of the previous thread, www.mumsnet.com/Talk/coronavirus/4155962-10-million-people-vaccinated-already-brilliant

This thread is intended as a positive place to discuss our remarkable vaccine rollout as it progresses and to celebrate the ever increasing numbers as we go.

Polite notice: conspiracy theorists, doommongers and those looking for endless debate over vaccine efficacy, leave vs remain or anything else along those lines - this is probably not the thread for you.

So, to pick up from where we left off... a mind-blowing 16,875,536 people in the UK have now received their first dose of the vaccine - that’s 32% (or 1 in every 3.1) of all UK adults.

Every day, hundreds of thousands more people are gaining excellent levels of protection against this sodding virus. So, let’s keep jab jab jabbing our way onwards, upwards and out of this. Covid, we’re coming for ya!!!

The prediction on the Covidvax.live site says over 19 million by the end of yesterday. Just sayin’

Next priority group announced as 40-49 with no job related criteria. That’s DH (45) but I’ll have to wait a bit longer (39)!

hussband is 42... I'm 36... for once an only for once I wish I was his age :)

It's a bit frustrating because while I have had my first jab, my husband (fifteen years younger) won't be getting one yet-awhile.

My area doing 50s. So I will be next as late 40s.

My area just moved onto the 55's appointments have been offered to everyone in the groups above!

My local area update

Here are our latest stats:

• 17,000 vaccines given so far from 15th Dec 2020 to 21st Feb 2021
• Cohort 1 (Care homes): 100% of all our consenting care home residents have been vaccinated
• Cohort 2 (Over 80s): all invited, and approx. 96% vaccinated
• Cohort 3 (Over 75s): all invited, approx. 96% vaccinated
• Cohort 4 (Over 70s and clinical extremely vulnerable): all invited, approx. 68% vaccinated (down from 92% purely due to the recent expansion of this cohort - you'll have received a letter if this affects you)
• Cohort 5 (Over 65): 79% vaccinated; invitations sent out from mass vaccination sites
• Cohort 6 (16-64 with underlying conditions): 18% vaccinated, SMS invitations being sent out in batches

Ooooh, we’re going to be close to 500,000 today!

Fantastic @CoffeeandCroissant we’re getting there! I don’t know if it’s the sun and tentative dates from the roadmap but I’m feeling so positive this week

• doses not does, Doh!

Scotland dashboard now publishing daily doses data at public.tableau.com/profile/phs.covid.19#!/vizhome/COVID-19DailyDashboard_15960160643010/Overview

Yay🥳 Fabulous jab numbers

So 20 million announced on Sunday?

if it's not announced on sunday then it will surely happen on sunday.

And love the Scottish chart. I want one of those for the UK.

Good news on efficacy for NHS staff www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-56211755

Hancock quoted an ONS survey showing that 94% of UK adults said they had either had or would have the vaccine. Stupendous! 94% of 53 million is a tad under 50 million.

So.... 31 million people to go, and about 80 million jabs (as total jabs including second doses is almost 20 million). Or less if we start using the Janssen single dose one.

19,177,555 people have now received their 1st dose of vaccine up to and including 25th Feb.

WOW!

Plus 736,037 people have now had both doses.

Truly tremendous numbers today!

I am hopeful that that 94% will get even bigger as time goes on.

Excellent stats from your local area too @CaveMum, thanks!

NHS Coventry and Warwickshire got a shout out too - 95% of over 65’s jabbed. I’m in the neighbouring area, and over 60’s are being done here.
