Covid-19: Dramatic drop in number of vaccines issued in Harlow
General / Thu 15th Jul 2021 at 02:38pm

THE number of vaccines issued in Harlow seems to be slowing down.
Most weeks, the number of vaccines issued has been anywhere between 3 and 4,000.
But in the last seven days there has been just 866.
Just 340 first vaccines.
Just 525 second vaccines.
That brings a total of 98,525 vaccinations.
We haven’t been told of any supply problems and so this could be the hardest part of the process.
With 55% of the adult population in Harlow double-vaccinated, how do the health authorities vaccinate the other 45% of the adult population?
Once again well done to all those involved in the whole operation.
First Vaccinations:
Under 18: 206
18-24: 3861
25-29: 3622
30-34: 4833
35-39: 5303
40-44: 5260
45-49: 4,888
50-54: 5,495
55-59: 5,479
60-64: 4,678
65-69: 3,814
70-74: 3,288
75-79: 2,340
80+: 3,554
Total: 56,621
Second Vaccination:
Under-18: 68
18-24: 1080
25-29: 1368
30-34: 1885
35-39: 2265
40-44: 3631
45-49: 3928
50-54: 5,163
55-59: 5,241
60-64: 4,502
65-69: 3,713
70-74: 3,245
75-79: 2,315
80+: 3,500
Total: 41,904
Total: 98,525
These figures are well below the national average and indeed those of neighbouring authorities. It would be interesting to see what the percentage of those who have had first and second jabs is in each age group so that at the very least every effort is made to ensure that 100% of those aged over 50 are vaccinated. This would help ensure that the number having to go to PAH is kept to a minimum. More effort may be needed to publicise the fact that "walk-ins" without an appointment are now available.
