Vaccinations in England

The COVID-19 vaccination programme began in England on the 8th December 2020.

To begin with vaccinations were administered in NHS hospital hubs although from the 14th December 2020, vaccinations were also administered through local vaccination services such as GP practices and then in care homes by the end of the year. From 11th January 2021, Vaccination Centres such as sports stadiums also started providing vaccinations and throughout 2021, mobile units were also deployed to support the vaccination programme.

Over time, younger cohorts began being invited whilst priority was given to those in clinically extremely vulnerable groups.

By December 2021, anyone aged 12 and over could book a single dose of a COVID-19 vaccination. Those aged 16 and over would also be able to book a second dose and those aged 18 and over would be able to book a third or booster vaccine dose. The programme was expanded substantially in response to a new variant of COVID-19 designated Omicron.

The data in this section come from NHS England and are collected through the National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS). Data at lower tier local authority level are updated every day and so the overall coverage data includes data as at 11 May 2023 for vaccinations given up to Wednesday 10th May.

The first table shows the number of people who have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in West Sussex districts.

Vaccinations over time

The first figure shows the rolling 7 day number of vaccinations over time for those aged 18 and over (the cohort currently eligible for at least three doses of a COVID-19 vaccination).

You can choose whether to look at actual doses, or the crude rate of doses per 100,000 population. This helps to compare areas as if they had the same population size.

The charts for most areas show that second doses ramped up in March 2021 and overtook first doses throughout April, although in some areas first doses have now increased again as younger cohorts have openned up.

The next figure below shows how many vaccinations have taken place by area, dose, and age group.

It shows the cumulative number of first, second and third or booster doses in each area. However, not all age groups are eligible to recieve the same number of doses. You can change the area and age group using the drop down menu.

The black line at the top is the latest estimated number of people of that age group on vaccine registers in the area. It is derived from primary care lists (e.g. where people are registered). As such, it may underestimate populations who are less likely to be registered to a GP practice (such as those who are homeless). For this reason, it is possible that the number of doses given can exceed the number of estimated population to vaccinate.

The number of estimated population, and the total number of doses given so far are also displayed on the top left of the figure.

You can get an idea of how much further the vaccination programme needs to go, by seeing how far the yellow line (representing first doses) and importantly the green (representing the second dose) and blue (third or booster doses) are away from the black line on the right hand side of the figure. The closer the lines, the more of a population has received the vaccination.

Change in vaccinations by week and age

The table below shows the number of first, second, and third or booster doses in the last three full weeks (Monday - Sunday) by age group.

By default, it shows West Sussex overall but you can search for a local authority area in West Sussex, or South East region and England. As well as searching for all age groups in one area, you can use the second search bar to search for a specific age group in all areas.

Lastly, you can also sort the table by by clicking on any of the headers. Click the header again to change the direction of the sort (e.g. from ascending to descending order, and vice versa).
