Vaccine uptake by age in England - looks like less than 2/3rds of under 35s will use it
I took the data for the 'heatmap' at the bottom of this page, and plotted it for younger age groups: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/vaccinations?areaType=nation&areaName=England
Thick lines are first doses, thin are 2nd. We can see that 1st doses for the 35-39 age group are tailing off barely above 2/3rds, and the other will probably not reach that (though 18-24 look more enthusiastic than 25-29 - they might overtake them). Also note that we didn't have 50% of the 40-44 age group fully dosed before the 5th July - which is when they'd have needed to be to have the full vaccine effect by the Doomsday 19th July.
