The areas in Birmingham which are falling behind in the booster rollout

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has set a new target to give boosters to all adults who want one by the end of the month.

The decision to ramp up the booster programme comes amid fears of a rise in Covid cases, particularly those with the Omicron variant.

Latest available data from NHS England shows almost 27.2 million people aged 18 and over have still not had a booster dose.

In Birmingham an estimated 240,069 boosters had been administered by December 5, leaving an estimated 613,947 still not fully protected against Omicron.

To hit the Government’s new target an estimated 32,313 jabs will need to be administered in Birmingham each day between now and the end of the year to hit the target.

The analysis is based on the number of days between Monday 13 December and the end of the year so figures are estimates.

Population analysis is based on figures sourced from the Office for National Statistics and are estimates.

There are geographical differences across Birmingham with some areas having administered far fewer booster shots than other areas.
