More than three quarters of adults in Scarborough have had two doses of coronavirus vaccine

More than 73,000 people in the borough have now had both jabs, meaning that 77.1% of the adult population are covered by the vaccine.

Across England as a whole just 62.5% of people have had both doses of the vaccine and 781.% have had one.

In Yorkshire and the Humber 65.2% of residents are fully vaccinated.

Speaking last week, Amanda Bloor, accountable officer for North Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group, urged people to continue to come forward to get the vaccine.

She said: “Across the NHS we would like to see people well and out of hospital, which is why the vaccination programme is continuing at pace and we are encouraging people to continue to make responsible choices to keep themselves, loved ones, and our communities safe as restrictions are lifted.”
