UK Covid death toll

[baggy1]

Why is there no mention of under 16s on the rollout plan?

When more doses are delivered, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has advised that people are given the vaccine in the following order:

1. residents in a care home for older adults, and their carers
   
   
2. everyone aged 80 and over, and frontline health and social care workers
   
   
3. everyone aged 75 and over
   
   
4. everyone aged 70 and over, and those who are clinically extremely vulnerable
   
   
5. everyone aged 65 and over
   
   
6. people aged 16 to 64 with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and death from Covid-19
   
   
7. everyone aged 60 and over
   
   
8. everyone aged 55 and over
   
   
9. everyone aged 50 and over
   

These groups cover 90-99% of those at risk of dying from Covid-19, according to the JCVI.

After these nine priority groups, there will be a second phase of vaccination for other groups in the population.

The ages of the populations are as follows (2019):

80 and over - 3.37M
75-79 - 2.33M
70-74 - 3.32M add to them the extremely vulnerable which was about 1.2M wasn't it (some of those may be included in above)
65-69 - 3.37M
60-64 - 3.76M
55-59 - 4.41M
50-54 - 4.66M

So if you have to have 2 doses each, I'll be getting it when the've got around 50M doses.
