Meanwhile, 119,329 people in North Lincolnshire have received at least one dose of a vaccine – 85 percent of those aged 16 and over.

The NHS vaccine data also reveals variation in coverage for residents who are fully vaccinated between different areas across North Lincolnshire.

These figures are based on mid-2019 estimates – the latest at neighbourhood level.

Across England, 29.1 million people had received a second dose of the jab by July 11 – 64 percent of the population aged over 16 and over.

That includes 28.1 million people aged 25 and over – 71 percent of the age group.

In total, 38.3 million people had received at least one dose of a vaccine by the same date, covering 84 percent of people over 16.

Despite the success of the rollout, some staff at care homes in North Lincolnshire have not been fully vaccinated.

The figures show 1,319 out of 1,763 eligible staff, including agency workers, at older adult care homes had received two doses of a vaccine by July 11 – meaning 25 percent have not been fully vaccinated.

The Government plans to make the jab mandatory for staff over concerns for residents.
