Another pretty disappointing day with the Northern Ireland COVID-19 vaccine rollout yesterday, with 3,675 first doses (0.19% of the population) and 82 second doses. The weekly increase rate has fallen to 1.6% of the population; the increase rate in both England and Wales is 4.1%.

The same data as a daily increase - for a full week now vaccination rates in NI have lagged behind GB

Interesting on plans for the next phase over the next few weeks

Israel released new data on the split of new COVID-19 cases by age and the results are... interesting. Israel's vaccination programme for the over 80s is nearly complete; 88% of over 80s have received a first dose, and 65% a second. The gap between doses appears around 3 weeks.

Given such a big disparity between vaccination rates among over 80s and the overall population, you might case rates for over 80s to fall relative to the overall population. However, this doesn't appear to have happened, at least not yet.

This chart compares weekly COVID cases for over 80s in Israel (black dashed line, left axis) and the % of the over 80s population with a 1st/2nd dose (blue lines, right axis) at the start of each week.
