More than a third of all adults in England have now had both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, the NHS has confirmed.

Latest data shows that 14,871,208 people aged 18 and over had received their first and second dose of the jab.

More than two thirds of adults have now had their first jab.

In total, NHS staff have administered more than 44 million Covid jabs altogether, the NHS says.

But is says it is vital that everyone books in for their second jab once invited to do so to ensure they receive the maximum protection from coronavirus.

Dr Nikki Kanani, GP and medical director for primary care at NHS England, said: “Yet another incredible NHS milestone has been reached as one in three adults in England have now had both doses of the covid vaccine - meaning that they have maximum protection from the virus.

“Reaching this milestone is no accident – it is down to months of hard work and everyone in the NHS who has played a role in this, is helping to protect millions of people from serious illness and saving lives.

“We can all be rightly proud of what we have achieved as we get more of the population fully vaccinated over the coming weeks and months. So when you are invited for your vaccine, please do book in – it is simple, effective and will protect you and your loved ones.”
