On 23 June, the Vaccines Minister highlighted the low levels of vaccine takeup among communities
A very short thread showing the disproportionate risks between different communities.

In the 23 June data (when the Minister made the comments), 59% of black over-50s had been given their second dose, compared to 91% of white over-50s.

There has been *some* progress, but not nearly enough.
In today's data, 66% of black over-50s have had their second dose, compared to 93% of white over-50s.

The rate of black over-50s not fully vaccinated is nearly *5 times* (4.73 times) as high as white over-50s not fully vaccinated.
[W = White over-50s not fully vaccinated: 100% - 92.8% = 7.2%
B = Black over-50s not fully vaccinated: 100% - 65.9% = 34.1%
B/W = 4.73 times]
It is a similar story for deprivation.
Over-50s living in the most deprived areas are *4 times* more likely to not be fully vaccinated compared to those living in the least deprived areas
[D1=100%-88.9%=11.1%
D10=100%-97.2%=2.8%
D1/D10=11.1/2.8=3.96]
