We are on track for offering all over 50s who have had the first jab their second jab by June 21
Very high levels of uptake, in the 90%s
but we have got to make sure they get their second jab
5 or 6% who didn't have their jab, please come forward

Need an other 4 weeks
Data, and not dates
invest that little bit of time to keep us going forwards, it will stop us going backwards
The complete lifting of measures on the 21st of June not only risks an increase in cases and hospitalisation,
but risks the introduction of new variants to the UK which will undermine our vaccination programme and derail our path back to normality
