As of August 4, Government figures show 88.7 percent of the UK adult population has been vaccinated with at least one dose. A further 73.5 percent of UK adults have also received their second vaccine dose. Although the majority of adults have been vaccinated to date, several adults are unvaccinated and in some areas of England, the percentage of people vaccinated is significantly lower than in other areas.

Vaccine rollout by age group
The NHS has broken down vaccine statistics based on age and local areas in England.
For people aged 50 and over, most local areas in England report a percentage of the population vaccinated with both doses as 90 percent or above.
But vaccination percentages are lower generally for people in younger age groups across the board.
Some areas are reporting percentages of people aged 18 to 24 vaccinated with one dose above 80 percent.
However, other areas are reporting significantly lower numbers of people vaccinated in this age group.
According to the latest data, Birmingham and Solihull has vaccinated the lowest percentage of people aged 18-24 in England with one dose, with only 47.4 percent of people in this age group vaccinated as of August 1.
Birmingham and Solihull also reported the lowest percentage of people vaccinated with one dose in England for the 25 to 29 age group, with 52 percent of people vaccinated with one dose in the area.
