Nearly 85 per cent of people over 80 have now had their first vaccination dose against Covid-19 in Coventry and Warwickshire.

New figures from the NHS show how many people have had the first injection across the country, with regional breakdowns, up to January 24.

The closest category we can get to Leamington, Warwick and Kenilworth is the wider area of Coventry and Warwickshire.
