Thu vaccine update (incl England weekly data)
637k total doses today, 17% up on last week, bringing the 7D total back to 3.6m, close to the late April high.
1st doses of 184k are up 32%, and are the highest daily total since March, bringing the 7D total close to 1m.
1/5
A good day all round with 2nd doses of 452k up 12%, bringing the 7D total back up to 2.6m, and the overall total to just shy of 19m.
2/5
On take-up, England 1st doses have made more progress in the 45-49 group and look as though they should just hit 80% in due course.
That would be 10% less than the band above, which is a little worrying in terms of a downward trend as we work down the ages.
3/5
2nd doses appear to be working their way through the sixties judging by the weekly changes, though encouraging to see those above still nudging upwards.
4/5
2nd dose take up rate looks to be very close to 95% above age 70. It's too early to form a view below that yet though. That's good but that would still mean some are forgoing the added protection of the second dose, both in terms of level and duration of protection.
5/5 END
