THREE-QUARTERS of people aged 80 and over in Sussex and East Surrey have received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, figures reveal. Latest NHS data shows 103,329 people had been given their first jab by January 24, as the biggest vaccination programme in NHS history continues. Of those, 46,270 were aged 80 or over – equating to 76 per cent of the population in that age group. The figures cover people vaccinated in the Sussex and East Surrey Health and Care Partnership area – a collaboration between local NHS services and councils aimed at improving health care. The figures come just days after hundreds of people lined the Brighton Centre as they became some of the first in the city to use the mass vaccination site.
