A staggering 54 million doses of coronavirus vaccines have now been given across the UK.
More than 35.7 million Brits have received a first dose of either the Oxford/AstraZeneca, the Pfizer/BioNTech or the Moderna jab.
A further 18.4 million second doses have been given, meaning 35 per cent of the adult population are now fully vaccinated.
The next stage of the vaccine rollout started today with people in England in their late 30s invited to come forward for their jabs.
It puts Boris Johnson on target to keep his promise of having every adult vaccinated by July.
People who are eligible for a vaccine will get a text sent from "NHSvaccine" inviting them to get a dose with a link to the booking site. People can also call 119.
There are thousands of vaccine sites to choose from, including shopping centres, mosques and pharmacies.
There are three vaccines currently being rolled out across the UK, and those under 40 will not be offered the one from AstraZeneca.
Omni's vaccine queue calculator will estimate how many people are ahead of you in the wait for a jab in the UK, accounting for the delay in the first-dose rollout.
You can also use the calculator that only applies to England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland which is more specific.
The nations are at different stages of the rollout, with people in their 30s being invited in Wales.
All you need to do is enter your age, job and if you have a health condition.
When will you get your vaccine?
Omni's vaccine queue calculator will give you an idea of when you can expect to be vaccinated.
It's based on the Government's priority list and the likely rate of vaccination.
It can be adjusted based on how fast the vaccines are deployed – using the seven-day rate gives the closest estimation, however cannot account for any potential delays or shortages in the future.
Omni also sets a default uptake rate of 75 per cent based on previous years' flu vaccine figures.
In reality, this could be lower or higher. The uptake has reached record levels of the high 90s in people over 50, but its not known how younger people will respond.
Changing the uptake rate on the calculator either makes the queue longer or shorter.
The tool also considers the proportion of first doses to second doses administered in the previous week.
This helps account for any delays in rate of first dose being administered.
A new feature of the calculator also predicts when "herd immunity" could be achieved, based on when 70 per cent of the adult population have been fully vaccinated.
With the current vaccination rate and 75 per cent uptake:
- A 20-year-old
You should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 12/06/2021 and 12/07/2021. You should then get your second dose by between 04/09/2021 and 04/10/2021.
- A 25-year-old:
You should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 12/06/2021 and 12/07/2021. You should then get your second dose by between 04/09/2021 and 04/10/2021.
- A 35-year-old
You should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 17/05/2021 and 12/06/2021. You should then get your second dose by between 09/08/2021 and 04/09/2021.
With the current vaccination rate but with 95 per cent uptake:
- A 20-year-old
You should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 26/06/2021 and 03/08/2021. You should then get your second dose by between 18/09/2021 and 26/10/2021.
- A 25-year-old:
You should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 26/06/2021 and 03/08/2021. You should then get your second dose by between 18/09/2021 and 26/10/2021.
- A 35-year-old
You should expect to receive your first dose of vaccine between 20/05/2021 and 22/06/2021. You should then get your second dose by between 12/08/2021 and 14/09/2021.
How does the vaccine programme work?
Scientific advisers have confirmed the vaccine programme will continue to prioritise people by age, after those in their 80s were put at the top of the list.
People between 40 and 49 will be next in line for the jab, followed by the 30-39s age group and then those aged 18 to 29.
In phase 2 of the government's rollout priority will be given in the following order:
- All those aged 40-49
- All those aged 30-39
- All those aged 18-29
These groups will be vaccinated once all those in phase 1 (the over-50s and most vulnerable) have received a jab.
Vaccines have already been given to the top four groups of about 15 million people – all over-70s, extremely vulnerable individuals, care home residents and staff and frontline healthcare workers.
Anyone in these groups who has not received their jab has been urged to contact the NHS to get it.
