Nearly a quarter of UK over-12s have had three jabs
The UK has given a total of 111,082,929 Covid vaccinations, according to the latest government data.

That's 50,707,953 first doses, 46,108,608 second doses and 14,266,368 booster or third doses.

That means 88.2% of the popualtion aged over 12 have had their first jab, 80.2% have had their second and 24.8% their third.

Why the hell don't the Covid stats split vaccinated and non vaccinated, would help encourage take up Shirley?

Cheers
So the figures from the vaccinated come from 90% and the unjabbed from 10%ish makes this even more amazing.

It’s rate per 100,000 so essentially it is adjusted…..still brilliant though

Depends if the figures are from the same 100k sample or separate samples of all jabbed and non jabbed. Assuming it's from the same 100 k?

48 years old and just been able to book my booster for early January. It's pretty much 5 months to the day since my second jab. I could've had the week before Christmas but didn't fancy that

15.6m in the UK have now had the booster jab and increasing by 2.5m per week.

Had my booster a couple of days ago, and was offered and took the flu jab whilst I was at it.

All very efficient.

I had my C-19 and flu jabs last Friday and wanted them both in the one arm. The doctor who was administering the vaccines advised onein each arm which left me unable to sleep on my side for two nights. Dilemma or what?

Got my booster at Churchill Square yesterday. Arrived at 8.45 for a 9am appointment. The queue was managed extremely well, excellent service from the professionals and volunteers as always. Out at 9.23 after my 15 minute rest. Very good indeed, and encouraging number of walk ups queuing as well.

Flu jab this afternoon.

 

[Fat Boy Fat]

Booster tomorrow, have had flu jab too, hopefully got some extra protection to get me through winter!

 

[Norman Potting]

I'll chip in then. Booster tomorrow at a local surgery who have been vaccinating like mad things since the who thing started.

Lots of volunteers helping with queuing and organising in all winds and weathers. When I complimented the nurse regarding the good work of the NHS during a previous vaccination she replied that she was only doing what she was trained to do sitting down in a nice warm and dry surgery and that
she took her hat off to all the volunteers helping outside in the cold and wet!

Had my fourth jab today! Two trial vaccines last year and two Pfizer’s this year.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'm not sure that it's good news, but I had my booster yesterday.

The first two jabs had no side effects whatsoever, but today I have a slightly sore spot where the injection was. Barber OUT

 

[Norman Potting]

Booster jab this morning - touch wood so far nothing by way of side effects.

 

[ac gull]

booster yesterday morning for me
