19/20 over 50s jabbed is reported by NHS England in today’s letter to Primary Care licensed providers - GP, pharmacies, hospitals. It is reported on BBC website (can’t remember where).
In some areas figures are showing as 100% and in others (mainly LOndon) as low as 85% but average is 95%. It’s very impressive when there’s been all the talk about hesitancy. There are differences by age groups and by wards within different areas, with affluent areas having higher take up, but overall it is still very good.
Sky News also has a table that shows the proportion of under 50s who’ve already had it and by 32 areas in England. It is already surprisingly high. Derby has over 40% of under 50s jabbed already, most areas are around 30% and some of LOndon around low 20s. This has happened through CEV and CV jabs being given, occupational frontline jabs and carers etc, plus places which pushed on with younger jabs or using up spares in last weeks. Some areas with lower take up or younger populations seem to have been encouraged to boost overall area take up with stronger push out to younger groups.
These figures relate to all under 50s but suggest in some areas, it’s pretty likely over half of 40s have already been jabbed. That’s good news isn’t it.
