That's too much.
We're actually pretty good at getting the vaccine in this country and haven't seen nearly the level of resistance some places in Europe (or America) has to either vaccines or masks.
I think there are many reasons for that such as the trust people have in the NHS and broadcast news being sane but I think another big reason is the public has a pretty good relationship with the state. The Government makes an argument we should do something, we accept that argument and do it and in return we expect the Government to cut us a little slack as well. A mutual understanding that we'll listen to authority and therefore authority will respect our liberty. It works well.
Compare that to France where people will openly reject the state, thumbing their nose at it however reasonable their request, and so the state responds with force. They don't get the vaccine, so they introduce vaccine passports and everyone has to get it. They had to actively enforce the lockdown with literal paper passes to go out and the police checking their papers.
