When will I get my Covid vaccines - this calculator gives you a good idea

For millions of adults patiently waiting for their coronavirus vaccine in the UK, they may be wondering - when will I get my first and second doses?

The UK began rolling out the vaccine on December 8, and so far more than 18 million people have already received the first dose and the second.

Vaccine take-up has been high, too, at more than 90 per cent, a Downing Street briefing heard on Monday night.

The latest figures, released on Monday February 22 showed that 17,723,840 people had received a first dose and 624,325 a second dose - bringing the total to more than 18 million.

Certain groups are being prioritised, but the government has vowed to have every adult vaccinated later this year.

You can see where you are in the queue by using our vaccine calculator:

The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was the first to be approved for use in the UK on December 2. It was followed on December 30 by the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab.

A third vaccine, produced by Moderna, was approved for use in the UK in early January, with several others expected to follow in the first quarter of 2021.

In December, the government published a list of nine vulnerable groups who will be given priority, following the advice of the independent Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.

The list is as follows, in order of priority:

1) Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2) All those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3) All those 75 years of age and over
4) All those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
5) All those 65 years of age and over
6) All individuals aged 16 to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7) All those 60 years of age and over
8) All those 55 years of age and over
9) All those 50 years of age and over.

All those in the first four priority groups were offered a vaccine ahead of the government's February 15 target.
