The latest vaccination statistics as at 20 June show that 92% of over 40s have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, and 85% are fully vaccinated.

Additionally, 36% of 18-24 year olds have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccine appointments for 18-24-year olds opened just over a week ago on Monday, 14 June. All Islanders aged 18 and over can book their vaccine appointments.

Other key statistics:

86% of over 30 years old have had one dose
59% of adults (18+) are fully vaccinated
42% of 18-29-year olds have had one dose
119,975 total doses administered
68,210 first doses administered
51,765 second doses administered

Head of the Vaccination Programme, Becky Sherrington, said: "The statistics this week show once again how well vaccination uptake is and how we are in a strong position for the majority of adults to have been fully vaccinated by mid-August. The fact that 92% of people 40 and over have had at least one dose, and many having had two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, is fantastic.

"Additionally, more than four in five Islanders aged 30 and over have received at least one dose of the vaccine and within just over one week, the Vaccination Centre has seen many young Islanders aged 18 and over attending to get their first doses. Islanders who are getting vaccinated are affording themselves and the community protection against COVID-19 and I'd like to thank those Islanders time and time again for their continued support towards the Vaccination Programme."
