The success of the Covid-19 vaccine rollout has been key to ending lockdown restrictions as more people become better protected against the virus.
More than one million Covid-19 jabs were booked in just two days after the NHS opened its vaccination programme to all remaining adults in England.
A total of 1,008,472 appointments were arranged over Friday and Saturday through the booking service, NHS England said – an average of more than 21,000 every hour, or six every second.
The NHS in England has now administered around 63,439,292 doses since Margaret Keenan became the first member of the public to get a jab on December 8.
Four in five adults have now received their first vaccination, according to NHS England figures – with three in five having both.
