Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

What recent assessment he has made of the progress of the covid-19 vaccine rollout programme across the UK.

We have administered over 60 million vaccine jabs in the United Kingdom, with 75% of the adult population already having received their first dose. Over 25 million people have now received their second dose and

53% of people aged 30 to 39 years have received at least one dose since the programme began opening up to the age group on 13 May. This week, we will open the vaccination programme to ages 25 to 29 years old.

We are on track to meet our vaccination target to offer all adults a vaccine by the end of July.
