26.8 million people vaccinated thread started 20th March

[Bordois]

So with the release of figures as of Friday 19th March over half the adult population of the UK have had at least 1 vaccination.

The number of jabs given is March was phenomenal and its likely numbers will be lower for the next few weeks but even if its "only" 100-200k a day thats still more lives potentially being saved!

Oh I see. Thought meant they wouldn't finish vaccinating them by that day

Someone has replied to oHugo:
Those are superb figures for a Monday.

304k this time last week.

For some reason, Scotland didn't report yesterday so that could be inflating today's figures slightly.

true tho it ws around 80k so even then if It was 40/40 then it'd be more vaccines this Sunday Than last weeks

Best Monday announcement since March 28th.

I'm on the NHS website every other day now waiting my turn - I'm 40 in a few weeks so hoping it will be soon!

I'm 41 and got my text today, as did my Dh and friends same age - they are moving down the 40s in North Yorkshire!

Looking at the Our World In Data graphs, our dosage rates are only marginally below where we were during the surge. Currently averaging 0.73-0.74 daily doses per 100 people compared with 0.80-0.89 in the surge. The Easter slowdown briefly brought us down to 0.46 but we've done very well since.

What about all the people having side effects?

Amazing numbers. Got my second dose on Friday.

Side effects are just that the majority of the time. Only side effects. In a pandemic that really is a small price to pay. I don't know anyone with much more than a sore arm or a slight headache. Babies get that with their first jab. That is why they tell you to give the baby calpol 45 minute before appointment.

Plus there are a shed load of threads if you want to discuss side effects. This is a celebration of numbers and talk about roll out thread.

All sorted and ready for the summer then ❤

I’m a few months off 44 and headed into town today for jab number one. Going to set off early and make a day of it

I had a mooch round before and after mine. It was amazing! (I don't get out much!)

NHS website saying anyone over the age of 42 (or turning 42 before 1 July) can now book.
