Big variation in vaccine rollout across the Anglia region - find out how many people have had a jab where you live

Nearly half the people in some parts of the Anglia region have been given the first dose of Covid vaccine while it is as low as a quarter in other areas indicating big variations in the rollout.

According to figures released by NHS England, nearly two million people across the Anglia region had at least one coronavirus injection representing nearly 37% of the adult population.

In the Tendring area of north east Essex, 48% of adults had received a first dose but in Luton the figure was as low as 25%.

As the vaccine rollout is targeted at older people first, part of the explanation for the differences is that some areas have an older population than others.

In terms of the number of people over 70 who have had the vaccine, Luton was still lowest in the Anglia region with 86.6% of the estimated over 70 population having had an initial jab.

Several parts of the Eastern Counties are thought to reached all people over 70 including Daventry, Ipswich, Rutland, South Northamptonshire and the Uttlesford area of Essex although the data is based on population estimates from 2019.
