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

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that everyone aged 18 and over in England will be offered a booster from this week in an announcement broadcast on TV on Sunday (December 12).

The new aim is to give a booster jab to all adults by the end of the month.

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

In Solihull an estimated 76,293 boosters had been administered by December 5, leaving an estimated 93,249 still not fully protected against Omicron.

To hit the Government’s new target an estimated 4,908 jabs will need to be administered in Solihull each day between now (Monday 13 December) 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 Solihull with some areas having administered far fewer booster shots than other areas.
