Vaccination update: 75% of UK adults now protected

More than 75 per cent of UK adults have now received their first Covid-19 vaccine dose - protecting them from the virus as we cautiously move along our roadmap to normality.

  • Thanks to the efforts of the British people and our historic vaccine programme - the most successful in our nation’s history - we are making huge progress in emerging from this devastating pandemic.

  • More than three in four adults across the UK have now received at least one dose of the vaccine, and we remain on track to offer all adults a first dose by the end of July. 

  • And yesterday the Health Secretary set out the global efforts we are taking to work more closely with our international friends and partners to identify early warning signs from animals and the environment.

  • Britain remains committed to supporting equitable access to vaccines worldwide as one of the largest donors to the COVAX facility with over £500 million already committed - helping to distribute 1.3 billion doses of coronavirus vaccine to 92 developing countries so far this year.
     
  • The case for getting vaccinated is clear, which is why government, the NHS, and medical professionals are encouraging everyone, when you get the call, get the jab, so together we can keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.
  • If you have any issues about your medical circumstances and whether the jab is best for you or a family member, discuss it with your GP or another appropriately qualified medical professional.
