The NHS have now vaccinated over 9.2 million people across the UK, which includes 931,204 vaccinations just this weekend. That’s one in every 60 adults in the whole United Kingdom vaccinated in one single weekend.
People Vaccinated in the UK up to and including 31st January 2021:
- First Dose = 9,296,367
- Second Dose = 494,209
The NHS have now vaccinated 90% of all over 80s in the UK and now, as of today, we have vaccinated over half of all people in their 70s.
On supply, yesterday the Government announced that we have ordered another 40 million vaccine doses from Valneva, bringing the total number of doses of this vaccine to 100 million – and if it gets regulatory approval, it will be made right here in the UK, in Livingston, Scotland. This deal with Valneva means the UK has now secured early access to over 400 million total doses of vaccines for 2021 and 2022
