The NHS in the North West has vaccinated more than 3.6 million people against Covid-19, with the number receiving their second dose reaching a new weekly high.
More than 377,645 people in the region have now received their second jab, almost double the previous week when 196,717 returned to get their next dose, almost twice as many as did so the week before.
The focus is now on making sure that absolutely everyone in the most at-risk cohorts has had the chance to be vaccinated, ahead of April 15 when there is more constrained supply of available doses.
