Getting mine at 6:30 later today. At only 29 I wasn't expecting it until at least June. Eastbourne seems to be well on top of this as I don't know anyone in their 30s unvaccinated

Just looked and there's a 1 in August and also a 0 in July. But yes, remarkably low!

Amazing news when so many have said take up would drop off as we went through the age bands

The rolling daily average for deaths is now 0.6 and 92% of communities in Wales have had two or fewer cases in the last week, PHW said.

The rate where I live is 1 per 100,000 over the last seven days. It was over 400 a few weeks ago.

That doesn't seem like good news if you have to wait a year before your second jab.
