Thousands of people who were double jabbed have died in England between January and September after contracting Covid, new figures show.
Data from the Office for National Statistics shows that up to September 34,474 people who were unvaccinated and 4,479 people who were fully vaccinated died with Covid-19 this year.
Most of the recorded deaths happened since the start of August, with data showing that 3,208 fully vaccinated people have died after contracting Covid since the first week of August.
"The ASMR for deaths involving COVID-19 for unvaccinated people is 32 times greater than that of people who had received two doses at least 21 days ago."
"Dr Nikki Kanani, GP and deputy lead for the NHS covid-19 vaccination programme said:"NHS staff are making it as easy as possible for people to get their top-up vaccination, and from today people can now go online, find their nearest site and go and get their booster without delay.
People entitled to a booster jab are: those aged 50 and over, people who live and work in care homes, frontline health and social care workers, people aged 16 and over with a health condition that puts them at high risk of getting seriously ill from Covid-19, those aged 16 and over who are a main carer for someone at high risk from the virus, and people aged 16 and over who live with someone who is more likely to get infections.
NHS England said more than six million people have had a booster jab or a third dose - the latter is being given to people with severely weakened immune systems.
