- Germany slow to bite retirees as UK skyrockets
- Only around four percent of people over 60 in the UK have not had their second vaccine, representing some 650,000 people

Only around four per cent of the over 60s in the UK have not had their second chance, which represents some 650,000 people.
Almost two-thirds have recently suffered a recall.
