This compares to 447,329 in the Midlands, 433,045 in the North East and Yorkshire, 318,445 in the North West, 411,257 in the South East, 285,332 in the South West and 236,023 in the East of England.
Here are the estimates for each region of England, based on the number of first doses given to the 80-plus age group from December 8 to January 10, as published by NHS England, combined with population data from the Office for National Statistics:
Midlands - 447,329 (35%)North-east England & Yorkshire - 433,045 (49%)South-east England - 411,257 (36%)North-west England - 318,445 (36%)South-west England - 285,332 (37%)London - 237,524 (31%)Eastern England (236,023) 30%
Around half of all people aged 80 and over in north-east England and Yorkshire have received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, the new figures suggest.
By contrast around three in 10 people aged 80 and over in eastern England have had their first jab, according to NHS England's breakdown of vaccinations by age and region.
This is the first time these figures have been published.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan claimed the capital was not getting its fair share of vaccine doses, with 237,524 doses delivered.
The Labour mayor said: “I am hugely concerned that Londoners have received only a tenth of the vaccines that have been given across the country.
“The situation in London is critical with rates of the virus extremely high, which is why it’s so important that vulnerable Londoners are given access to the vaccine as soon as possible.”
He said he would hold talks with vaccine minister Nadhim Zahawi “to ensure that we urgently receive an amount of the vaccine that reflects our size, density and the level of need in our city”.
But Downing Street has said every area is receiving its “fair share” of coronavirus vaccines after figures showed a disparity in the rollout of jabs.The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We’ve rolled out the vaccination programme across the country and we’ve ensured that every area receives a fair share of the vaccinations and we will continue to do that.“You will continue to see the vaccination programme accelerate through this month and throughout February and the PM’s been clear that we will ensure there is a vaccine centre close to everybody by the end of the month.”
There were also 2,452 listed as other, including some people who live in Scotland and Wales.
In total in England, 1,036,605 aged 80 or over have received a first dose, while 960,699 were given to those under 80.
