England’s top doctor has urged those eligible for a spring COVID-19 vaccine to come forward, as figures published today show almost four in ten eligible people have received their jabs (38.8%).
The weekly vaccination data, also published today, shows NHS teams have now delivered over 3 million (3,049,506) jabs since the rollout kicked off on 1 April.
But with just under six weeks to go, the NHS is reminding those at highest risk of getting seriously unwell if they catch the virus to come forward for their free vaccination and top up their protection this Spring, including those aged 75 and over and people who are immunosuppressed.
