From Monday 15 February we are changing the way we report breakdowns for age groups to focus on all vaccinated in each age group. Previously we removed people if already vaccinated in a higher priority group (e.g. care home residents), however as the vaccination programme progresses and we move down the priority groups this becomes more common. These figures are still available in Table 10b in the trends in daily data spreadsheet.

Latest progress on first doses shows we have vaccinated:

269,951 people aged 80 or over (100%)

195,841 people aged 75-79 (99.9%)

237,058 people aged 70-74 (85%)

159,947 people aged 65-69 (53%)
