UK vaccination thread started 1st May 2021

[Bordois]

As of Friday 30th April

34.3m first jabs
14.9m second jabs

have been given in the UK. This means that 65% of all adults have some level of protection and 28% are fully vaccinated.

Additionally evidence is currently suggesting that the vaccines are effective against the Brazilian and Indian variants 🥳

Ooh, its 72 / 46 for 1st and 2nd vaccination round here

So, as the thread is a month old its time for a recap.

On Friday 30th April

34.3m first jabs
14.9m second jabs

have been given in the UK. This means that 65% of all adults have some level of protection and 28% are fully vaccinated.

On Monday 31st May

39.4m first jabs
25.7m second jabs

Have been given in the UK. 75% of all adults have some protection and 49% are fully vaccinated.

Thanks @Bordois I thought about doing the same. So 5m 1st and less than 12m second. Nearly 17m doses in 31 days. Avg of 550k/day. Quite good!

Thanks for that @Bordois - great numbers!

The vaccine minister said in an interview today that second doses for over 50s will be done by 21st June.

Good news indeed!

We are almost certainly going to hit 75% of adults having a first dose today.

We are almost certainly going to hit 75% of adults having a first dose today.

That's good news.... and based on this experiment in Brazil, once we reach 75% of second doses, we should have whipped Covid's butt...

Some decent figures all things considered.

1st dose take up by age band

30-34 49%
35-39 68%
40-44 84%

The number of people who've had at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine in Flag of United Kingdom as of yesterday is

39,585,665

(up 108,507 on the day before, 7-day average 172,443)
That is 59.3% of the total population

The number of people who've had both doses of a Covid-19 vaccine in Flag of United Kingdom as of yesterday is

26,073,284

(up 338,565 on the day before, 7-day average 350,969)
That is 39.0% of the total population

And same again for 2nd doses. Looking good again, regardless of what some might say.

BBC saying we have hit 75% of adults having 1st dose and we are near 50% for 2 doses. Yay!
👏👏👏👏👏

Wonderful numbers and percentages everyone ❤

I am really happy that the take up amongst the people likely to have teenage kids is looking good already. That should help stop greatly I feel.

Yep, getting vaccinations into the arms of those likely to have school aged kids will make a big difference imo.

Is there any news about teenagers being vaccinated? I wasn’t sure whether it had been approved

A lot of one day walk in centres for over 18s. In England seems to be happening. Which will obviously help some of the youth transmission.

Jabs for teenagers is still up in the air I think. It really sounds like Boris and co are hoping not to need them. In the meantime the regulators are making a selection of plans for the government/SAGE to decide upon. For this the regulators won't have the final say unlike they did with the priority list.

Sorry.I forgot to answer the actual question

No jabs are not approved for kids here yet.

Whats todays numbers?

I don't think anyone has published the numbers yet 🤷‍♀️

More than half of UK adults have now had both doses of a coronavirus vaccine. Vaccines minister and Warwickshire MP
@nadhimzahawi's called it heart-warming news, and said those who've had both jabs can breathe a sigh of relief.

Latest hospital figures. Only 3.7% of patients in hospital with covid have had both doses❤

Figures are up. 50.2% of adults have had 2 doses of the vaccine.

In less good news - over 5000 cases.

My 23 year old neighbour has her first vaccine of Pfizer yesterday through our gp hub. They are flying through them 🥳

They are also saying anyone post 8 weeks of first vaccination and have not been called to ring and they will be booked in for saturday x
