Vaccine passports: The 5 neighbourhoods in Birmingham with the fewest people jabbed

Thousands of people in Birmingham are still not vaccinated and look set to be excluded from nightclubs, concerts and sports venues when new Covid rules come into effect on Wednesday (December 15).

Last week the Government announced new restrictions to reduce the spread of the Omicron variant, with Covid vaccine passports now becoming mandatory at all large events.

People will have to provide their NHS Covid Pass providing full vaccination or a negative test to enter nightclubs and other venues where large crowds gather.

Latest data from NHS England shows almost six million people aged 12 and over have still not received a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.

In Birmingham an estimated 228,267 had not been vaccinated by December 5 and will likely be affected when the new rules come into effect on Wednesday
