THE areas in and around Romsey where the most people have received the coronavirus vaccines have been revealed.

NHS figures, broken down by age group, show how many people were given at least one dose in neighbourhoods across Test Valley between December 8 2020 and May 2.

In that period, a total of 72,861 people in the Romsey and Southampton North constituency received either one or two jabs.

Of those, 9,125 were under the age of 45.

The figures are available at constituency and local authority level, but are also broken down by smaller areas.

These are called Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs) and have an average population of 7,200.

For each MSOA, the data shows how many people in each age group have had at least one vaccine.

The Test Valley area where the most people received the highest number of first and second doses is Andover London Road & East Anton where 11,304 patients were inoculated.

Of these, 2,566 were under 45.

In second place is North Baddesley & Braishfield, which saw 9,987 residents protected against the deadly bug, followed by Andover West where 8,193 jabs were rolled out.

This comes as more than a quarter of people aged 16 and over have received their second vaccine dose across England.

It has led to a forecast from the Bank of England that the economy will grow this year at its fastest pace since the Second World War.

The Bank predicts gross domestic product (GDP) – a measure of the size of the economy – will rebound by 7.25% in 2021, up from its previous prediction of 5% and the best year of growth since official records began in 1948.

The Bank said: “New Covid cases in the United Kingdom have continued to fall, the vaccination program is proceeding apace, and restrictions on economic activity are easing.”
