345k reported today, the post-Xmas recovery continues, but it's still only half of a week ago.

Total is now 28.1m.

Insight from one area suggests it's demand driving the lower figures - maybe due to high infections in the younger age groups?

1/

Over the last month we can see progress here, with the Xmas break very visible. The lowest age band has now reached 40% of those with two doses (or 45% of those now eligible).

2/

The pale blue bars of those eligible but yet to be boosted now totals just over 9m, with progress since the acceleration (the middle bands), now at 8.3m.

3/

Here we see a snapshot of the current position by 5 year age bands against all those with second doses. It looks as though all bands above 60 will hit 90% in due course - I'm less confident below that threshold though, at least in the short term.

4/

And finally for today, we've now reached the three-quarter point of all those eligible by the year end. Whilst we may not achieve the coverage hoped for by the year end, it's clearly been a fantastic effort by all concerned to accelerate the jabs for millions of people.
