NHS data shows 31,022 people had received both jabs by May 2 – 30% of those aged 16 and over, based on the latest population estimates from the Office for National Statistics. Of those to have received both jabs, 26,695 were aged 45 and over – 44% of the age group. It means 4,327 people aged between 16 to 44 have received both doses. Across England, more than a quarter of people aged 16 and over have received their second vaccine dose.
