If you want good stories, I can tell you that numerically loads people in their teens, 20s and 30s have been vaccinated as parts of groups 2, 4 and 6. As a percentage, is it typical etc, the answer is no it's relatively rare unless you work in health or social care. People who I'm acquainted with loosely, who I volunteer with, other organisations I'm in contact with. Group 6 is 7+ million people (we'll find out precisely how large later) and this means the vaccinated program is running slightly ahead of time. It's running ahead by a month+ in some areas and about a week ahead in the slowest areas.
Unfortunately there are downsides on group 6 and these have started to emerge the last week or so and it's only really been the Jo Wiley stuff that's got publicity. There are big positives because some people who are carers or severely mentally ill or on the spectrum are getting vaccinated. Others are not. I think in about a month's time people may to start to fall out because there are very big cliff edges when you're doing group 6 vs group 11 or 12 comparisons.

My 19 yr old Daughter got it because she is a TA in a school with Vulnerable kids, my 22 yr old Son is a Prison officer and hasn't had it and I'm apparently a 'key worker ' as I work in Telecoms and haven't had it, 55.It would be useful if people were to state the very basic reason why daughters/sons/friends are getting the jab at well under 50 years old, no details needed. Otherwise it looks like you can get jabbed at 25 in some parts of the country

I think the youngsters should get it now, 18+ and work from there.
I'm 55, so hoping for the vaccine in the next 6 weeks or so, I already have a plan for feeling a bit like I have a bad cold, it consists of all my favourite foods/treats in the kitchen and an understanding wife Best trade ever; feeling a bit rough in exchange for eventual freedom.

You will get offered a vaccine in the next six weeks otherwise Bojo will have failed his target if it's slightly over six weeks. You'll probably get it end of March.
As anecdotally things seem to be booking further ahead now, you may even hear pretty soon if you're lucky and that sure does feel good if it happens.

Using seasons as dates allows quite a bit of flex
Especially as there is not even a generally accepted definition of when the seasons start and finish.
