 We are now in the second phase of the national vaccination rollout as people under 45 are now encouraged to get their jab when their turn comes.
The NHS has now offered a first dose to everybody in the first 9 cohorts – those aged 50 and over, the clinically vulnerable and health and social care workers – and is on track to offer a jab to all adults in the UK by the end of July.
Over 33.5 million people have now received a first dose of a vaccine – over 63.5% of the UK adult population – with 12 million receiving their second dose. This means over 22.8% of the UK adult population have now received both doses of a vaccine – giving them the strongest possible protection from this virus, with over 45.5 million vaccines administered overall.
When you get the call, get your jab!
How you will be contacted for your COVID-19 vaccination
The NHS will let you know when it's your turn to have the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination.
The vaccine is being offered at larger vaccination centres, pharmacies and some local NHS services such as hospitals or GP surgeries.
More people are being offered the vaccine every week. Every jab gives us hope of getting life moving again.
