Vaccinations also rising

Nice to see the vaccination graph still going upwards. If that's accurate the UK is 4.5% vaccinated, rising at about 5% per month. (?) I hope we can ramp up further (we ideally need to get to like 170% or something) but that's a good start!

I know it's not meaningful but it feels nice to have numbers of

170% vaccinated? Am I missing something, or is that a typo for 70?

I mean, the 5% figure is for vaccinating people ONCE but we have to vaccinate most people twice, so the total number is more than 100%.

At least, I assumed the number of vaccinations was the number of people given at least one injection, or possibly, the number of injections given. And I assumed that so far only a small proportion had been vaccinated twice.

I don't know for sure if the second injection has comparable amount of effort needed as the first, I assume more or less.

Oh yes! I guess I wouldn't describe that as 170% of the UK vaccinated, but I can see why you might do that.
