By 22 January 2023, 36.3% (3,995,945 out of 11,015,427) of all people currently aged between 16 and 30 years old and resident in England had been vaccinated with at least three doses of vaccine.

By 22 January 2023, the total number of people aged between five and 29 years old living and resident who have been vaccinated with at least three doses was 4,046,676. We are unable to provide the proportion for under-16s as the eligibility for three doses is not universal in this group and the data for all eligible groups is not held.
