Official figures are that 35% of us have had it, and 0.28% have died with/from it.

And there are those who have not had a single dose of the vaccine....

The ONS estimate for the population aged 12 and over, which is 48,375,273. With 43,250,509 first doses having been given in England, that would leave an estimated 5.1 million eligible people who have not received a dose of vaccine.

The NIMS figure for the population aged 12 or over is 54,328,630, which would leave around 11 million eligible people in England who have not received a dose of vaccine.

Third vaccination rates were lower for Black Caribbean, Black African and Pakistani ethnic groups. Rates were also lower for those living in deprived areas, who have never worked or are long-term unemployed, who are limited a lot by a disability, who identify as Muslim or are male (May 2022).
