Across the UK, the vaccine rollout has slowed somewhat so far this month due to an expected slump in supplies.
Just over 2.1 million doses have been given out in the past, compared to an average of around 3 million jabs per week in February.
However, it's hoped the distribution of the Moderna vaccine which has now started to be sent across the UK will help to boost efforts again.
Despite the slow-down, the UK still remains one of the worlds best-performing countries in terms of the COVID-19 vaccinations.
