Wirral has now vaccinated more than two thirds of its 16+ population with the first dose, new figures show.
And progress has been swift in the 45-49 age category with 73.1% already having received their first jab.
NHS England releases a report every Thursday with a progress update on every part of the country.
Today's report shows that up to April 25, 179,486 people have now received their initial dose. That's around 68% of Wirral's 16+ population, as estimated by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
By April 25, 81,737 people had now had both doses in Wirral. It means that 31% of the estimated 16+ population on the borough is now fully vaccinated.
Nearly three quarters of a million appointments were made across the country on Monday and Tuesday, as the NHS began inviting 44-year olds for first jabs followed by people aged 42 and 43 by text. A further announcement is anticipated tomorrow.
