The data is not available in the format requested. NHS England publishes daily data for vaccinations in England, showing the total first and second doses given to date by region. NHS England also publishes the number of vaccinations in each lower tier local authority, each Middle Layer Super Output Area and each constituency by age group, which is updated weekly. The data is available at the following link:

Covid-19 Update
"The Brazil variant cases arrived a month after I raised this issue with the Prime Minister, and they show not only the problems of delays, but the limitations of the pre-travel tests that did not catch those cases. Even now, 99% of the 15,000 daily arrivals are not covered by …..."Yvette Cooper - View Speech

"The Health Secretary rightly said that our mission should be to stop the South African variant spreading. The community spread shows that border measures are failing to do that.

The data published last week showed that, when the police are doing these very minimal checks at the moment, if they find that nobody is home—so clearly nobody is self-isolating at that address—they take no further enforcement action at all. Does she not think …..."Yvette Cooper - View Speech

Covid Security at UK Borders
"Will the Minister explain what he means by 100% compliance checks? Does he just mean people filled in the form, or does he mean they were actually checked to see whether they were self-isolating at home? If it is the latter, how does he explain the police figures from last …..."Yvette Cooper - View Speech
