Thu vaccine update (take 2 - apologies)
597k total doses today, up 12%, so the 7D total is now up to 3.7m.
First doses of 134k are up 14%, so we are now giving first jabs to nearly 850k each week.

2nd doses of 463k are up a healthy 11%, and bring the total to over 14m. That's broadly equivalent to the most vulnerable groups 1 to 4, though as we've seen throughout the distribution isn't quite that simple.
2.85m over 7 days is another new record.
2/5
England take-up figures show first doses making slow progress, (though this predates the opening of 42-44).
It's disappointing that the 50-54 group has not reached 90%, so we can see a clear trend downwards from 65 to 50. It's too early to form a view on 45-49 yet though.
3/5
2nd dose take-up is now very good above age 75 with good progress in the cohort below too.
Though above 75 there are still around 10% of those who had 1st jabs who have not yet had a second one, slightly worrying for the most vulnerable in society.
4/5
For completeness, here's the equivalent PHE figures published simultaneously. The percentages here are based on NIMS figures, which look like they may be slightly more realistic than the ONS figures used by the NHS data.
5/5
