This calculator estimates where you are in the queue to receive a COVID vaccine in the UK.
The calculator was first launched after the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was approved.
 It currently works on the basis that the Government will vaccinate one million people per week on average over 2021.
As it is designed with this average in mind, it has not been adjusted following the rollout of the Oxford vaccine.
How to use the vaccine queue calculator
Follow these steps to calculate your likely place in the COVID vaccine queue. The first section is all about you.
• Please enter your age in years (16 to 120). Generally, the older you are, the sooner you’ll be called up to have the vaccine.
• Say whether you live or work in a care home. If everyone in a care home is vaccinated, that will allow relatives to visit with decreased risk to the residents.
• Are you pregnant, or are you planning to be in the next three months? If the answer is yes, the vaccine makers are not currently recommending you have a COVID vaccine until more trial data is released.
• Answer whether you are a frontline health or social care worker (e.g., nurse, doctor, etc.). This group is likely to have a lot of exposure to the virus and need to be protected.
• Are you classed as extremely vulnerable?Answer yes if you are asked to shield during lockdown or have one of the conditions on this list.
• Have you got one of these underlying health conditions mentioned above?
You will then see an estimate of the minimum and the maximum number of people who are inline to receive the vaccine before you. It also indicates how long it might be before you get both doses of the vaccine and be fully protected, based on the vaccination rate. By default, the figure is based on a vaccination rate of 1 million vaccinations a week ( the figure 1.2 million is correct at 14 January ) and a default uptake rate of 70.6%. If you want to change these values, we’ll explain how in the next section.
Rollout of vaccines
In the Rollout of vaccines section of the calculator, you can enter a custom value for the vaccination rate. This is the rate at which people receive a full vaccine, which consists of two doses. You can either enter the time it will take to vaccinate everyone in the UK, or the number of vaccinations a week.
Not everyone who is asked to receive the vaccine will accept it. That will mean that the queue for you will, in effect, be shorter. it is  a default uptake rate of 70.6%, which was the figure last year for people aged 64 and over who were offered the annual flu vaccine, according to the Nuffield Trust. In the previous 15 years, this figure has ranged from 70% to 75%. For COVID-19, the uptake may well be higher. Keep an eye out for the latest figure for the uptake rate and use it in the calculator.
* Change the 1 million per week figure to the updated Government figure – at time of publishing according to NHS England it is 1.2 million per week, but this will increase.
