The UK has recorded 17 coronavirus-related deaths and 2,685 cases in the latest 24-hour period – as a quarter of adults have now had two doses of a vaccine.
The data compares to six deaths and 2,064 cases announced on Monday.
First doses of a vaccine have now reached 33,843,580, with second doses at 13,201,811.
Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi revealed earlier that a quarter of the adult population in the UK have now had both vaccine doses.
The vaccine rollout has already reached half of the UK’s population with a first dose.
The next phase of the programme – which aims to offer all adults a jab by the end of July – means vaccines are now being offered to those aged 42 and over.
