That meant that between December 2020 and July, the health was tracked of more than 1.2 million adults who received one coronavirus jab and 971,504 who received two jabs in that time frame.

• Just 0.2% of double-jabbed people said they had had a Covid infection after vaccination (2,370 cases)
• Of the 592 fully vaccinated people with Covid who continued to provide data for more than a month, 31 (5%) went on to get long Covid (defined as illness lasting 28 days or more after a positive test)
• In the unvaccinated group this figure was about 11%

Researchers found some people were more at risk of so-called breakthrough infections (getting Covid after a vaccine) than others - including frail, older adults and people living in deprived areas. This was particularly the case for people who had only had one jab.
