High numbers of under-30s are not coming forward for their second Covid-19 vaccine dose within the recommended 12 weeks, Public Health England data shows.
According to the latest PHE figures, 41.3% of 18- to 24-year-olds and 46.5% of 25- to 29-year-olds in England have received a second dose. In contrast, more than 91% of over-60s in England had had their second jab at a comparable stage in the rollout for their age cohort.
In Scotland, 52.4% of people between 18 and 29 have had second dose, while in Wales, 65.9% of this group have received both jabs. In Northern Ireland, 54.9% of people aged 18 to 29 have had the second shot.
We are interested in hearing from under-30s in the UK who have had their first shot, but have not yet had the second despite being eligible for it. We would also like to hear from young people who are now fully vaccinated.
