Vaccine passports: the districts of Doncaster with the fewest bites
On Wednesday, December 8, the government announced new restrictions to reduce the spread of the Omicron variant, with passports for the Covid vaccine now becoming mandatory at all major events.
People will need to provide their NHS Covid Pass providing a full vaccination or a negative test to enter nightclubs and other places where large crowds congregate.
The latest data from NHS England shows that nearly six million people aged 12 and over have still not received a first dose of a coronavirus vaccine.
In Doncaster, an estimated 37,579 had not been vaccinated as of December 5 and will likely be affected when the new rules take effect.
Subject to parliamentary approval, the new rule will take effect on Wednesday, December 15.
The population analysis is based on figures from the Office for National Statistics and are estimates.
There are geographic differences across Doncaster, with some areas having much higher vaccination levels than others.
Here we reveal the local areas with the highest number of unvaccinated people.
