Answer

It is not possible to state with certainty the total number of clinically extremely vulnerable people vaccinated prior to Priority Group 4 by reason of their age. The member will be aware there will be overlap between age cohorts and the clinically extremely vulnerable.

However, to date, 46,131 people identified as clinically extremely vulnerable have been vaccinated with a first dose and 2,424 people have had their second dose.
