The latest figures have been revealed as England’s biggest vaccination centre is offering COVID jabs to anyone over the age of 18 for today only.
Thousands of people have already been vaccinated at the centre at Twickenham Stadium in west London today.
Government guidelines say only people over the age of 30 are eligible for the jab but medics offered it to all adults in an effort to ensure nothing is wasted.
The local NHS trust tweeted today: “Thousands of people vaccinated at @twickenhamstad today.
“Still spaces and vaccine left: now open to all 18 and over who can get here before 7.30pm.”
The vaccination roll-out is taking place ahead of the government’s planned date for lifting the remaining lockdown restrictions from 21 June.
However government adviser Professor Adam Finn, a member of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, has cast doubt on whether the prime minister will be able to proceed with the timetable.
He told Sky News that “things are much more up in the air” than they were earlier this month, due to the spread of the Indian variant of coronavirus in the UK.
Professor Finn continued: “In a way, I think, the dates [of the roadmap] all the way through were created just to give everyone some kind of sense of structure.
“But they were always qualified as being based on what actually happened and that they could change. I think there’s a significant chance that it could change.
“We’re better off being cautious at this point and being able to progressively unlock ourselves than to overdo it and then end up having to lockdown fully all over again.”
