This is the equivalent of 25.3% of the total UK population, and 32.0% of people aged 18 and over.

In Northern Ireland, 30% of the adult population have had at least one dose.

Here are the detailed figures for each nation:

– England

A total of 14,214,176 people had received a first dose of Covid-19 vaccine up to February 18, according to NHS England.

This is the equivalent of 25.3% of the total population of England, and 32.1% of people aged 18 and over, based on the latest population estimates from the Office for National Statistics.

The latest available breakdown for age groups in England is for doses given up to February 14.

By this date, an estimated 93.4% of people aged 80 and over had received their first dose, along with 99.3% of people aged 75-79 and 92.3% of people aged 70-74.

A total of 94.5% of residents of older adult care homes in England eligible to have their first dose of Covid-19 vaccine had received the jab by February 14, as well as 69.0% of eligible staff in older adult care homes.

Care home residents and staff are classed as eligible for the vaccine if they have not had Covid-19 in the previous 28 days.

NHS England said the number of eligible residents includes a small number of residents at care homes currently undergoing an outbreak and which cannot be visited, who did not receive the vaccine for valid medical reasons, and those for whom consent had not been provided.

Around 88% of patient-facing NHS Trust health care workers are likely to have had their first dose of vaccine by February 14, NHS England added.

– Wales

As of 10pm February 18, 839,065 people had received their first dose of Covid-19 vaccine, according to Public Health Wales.

This is the equivalent of 26.6% of the total population of Wales, and 33.3% of people aged 18 and over.

A total of 90.1% of people aged 80 and over had received their first dose, along with 91.9% of people aged 75-79 and 91.1% of people aged 70-74.

The latest figure for care home residents is 82.9%, for care home workers it is 85.1%, and for the clinically extremely vulnerable aged 16-69 it is 82.2%.

Public Health Wales said people may appear more than once in these totals. For example, someone aged 80 and over who lives in a care home will be included in the percentage for those 80 and over and also in the percentage for those in a care home.
