I've dug into the stats a bit more. Hammersmith, as of 7 March, had only 75.7% of over 60s vaccinated. Not the worst in London, but one of the worse. Tower Hamlets 66.3%, Westminster is lower on 61% but there are very local factors in terms of part time residency, maybe a bit of that in Canary Wharf too. Compared to the posher bits of Middle England: Surrey Heath 94.4%, Cannock Chase 94.6%, Ipswich 94.9%. So yes in Hammersmith it is probably a case of grab anyone they can. Disappointing, very disappointing to see these health inequalities perpetuate unnecessarily, and more needs to be done here. Leicester City, probably the worst affected city in the UK pandemic wide, with probably even more of the hesistancy factors that apply in Hammersmith, has managed to get to 87.1%, and at long last their numbers are tumbling.Leicester had a 7 day figure of 600 at one point, and is now about 115. Leeds is on 93.1%. So it can be done.
