In Worthing, an estimated 36,950 boosters had been administered by December 5, leaving an estimated 51,933 still not fully protected against Omicron.
To hit the Government’s new target, 2,733 jabs will need to be administered each day in Worthing, from December 5.

There are geographical differences across Worthing with some areas having administered fewer booster shots than other areas.
