Credit: PA:Press AssociationFigures released today revealed that 14,012,224 doses of the Pfizer and Oxford vaccines have been administered in the UK.With the current rate of vaccination, it is highly likely that the government's target of vaccinating 15 million people will be hit today.Last Saturday, the UK administered an incredible 549,808 jabs - and gave out a record 598,389 on January 30.
But the programme is so advanced in some areas that over-50s are asked to come forward to get the jab.And the NHS revealed yesterday that the vaccine rollout in England will be extended to people over 65, giving three million more vulnerable adults the opportunity to have their first dose. Uptake in the over-75s is at 93% in England, the Department of Health said, as it aims to get the highest possible take-up in all other groups.
A Welsh Government spokesman said it was still contacting anyone in groups one to four "who may have changed their minds or may have been ill or may have, for some reason, not been able to take up the appointment". Graphs show that up until February 12, deaths have reduced by around 10 per cent in the top four vaccine priority groups - including the over 70s, care home residents and most clinically vulnerable.
What an achievement!
