TL;DR
Latest vaccine data now issued by the UKHSA
Public Health England are being/are replaced by Health Security agency

Latest publication below. Very similar format to PHE

https://assets.publishing.service.g...849/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_40.pdf

Vaccine uptake by age is below (page 9 of the above) and vaccine UK by day uptake is below that from https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/vaccinations

I used dose one as dose 2 is slightly lower

We have not at any point had vaccine shortages to my knowledge, in fact we have 1M jabs that have been pledged to the third world without derailing our current program https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ccine-doses-to-poorer-countries-within-a-year

Each band represents about 4 million people so we are looking at significant numbers of adults unvaccinated. Page 13 gives the deaths between week 36-39.

These publications include variant distribution so I will post that when it is released.

That uses NIMS. It underestimates the vaccination rate, as people are counted more than once in that database if they changed addresses without notifying the authority. I think they use NIMS for work, since it's better to make sure they've reached everyone if they have an important message. There's another database ONS which is supposedly more accurate but apparently produces vaccintation rates above 100%.

The UK government has a third method which is to sample and model, and that produces a population immunity (by infection and vaccination) of over 90% and a vaccination rate of ~98% in ages 60+:
