I think we can be confident now that cases in the 70-74 age group are on their way down to join their friends in 75-79 and 80+ (maybe not falling quite as quickly as 75-79 did - but there's more in the 70-74s so it will take a bit longer to vaccinate them) 1/5

(also noting that 70-74s are in category 4 alongside the clinically extremely vulnerable, a total of ~4.4m people which is nearly double the ~2.3m in category 3, which was just the 75-79s) 2/5

Looking back at the 80+ in more detail, there's no real "new news" here - all progressing to plan 3/5

And no sign of movement in the 65-69s yet - but we wouldn't expect that just yet, give it another 7-10 days and we might start to see something 4/5

As some have pointed out, these graphs will stop working eventually as not all age groups can fall as a % of the total at the same time, for obvious reasons. But I think we've got a few more weeks before that becomes a big issue. /end
