Update to denominator used in headline vaccination uptake

The headline vaccination uptake presented for the UK and nations has been updated to include 16 and 17 year olds in the denominator. The ONS 2020 mid-year estimates for those aged 16 and over are now used. The numerator remains the total number of vaccinations given to people of all ages.

Regional and local authority vaccination uptake percentages continue to be calculated using vaccines given to those aged 18 and over in the numerator, and the population aged 18 and over in the denominator."

good fella - how dat happen den
I noticed the inconsistency
90% showing antibody, and we are still running at 40 000 cases a day

however from last week
mumsy round the corner sent little johnny into school when she was positive, and little J accounted for 25 positive cases .....
not without retribution you will be glad to hear

[Peter Pedant]

yeah thanks
as suspected
90% vacco'ed means 90% of those eligible ( you know like only over eighties)
and not as we think - - % of the population

Maybe the illegal immigrants were included in the new figures ... or would that have made it much lower?

obviously, people who've had the jab are dying fast.
