Without wishing to cast aspersions on the ability of the NHS to collect and analyse data, I’m not sure that I’d assume that the %s are of those eligible. Seems more likely to be for the age ranges as a whole as they were for the first two vaccinations. Otherwise you might have the situation that the reported % vaccinated fell over time, which if based on those eligible could well be true but that would completely confuse the average politician, not to say journalist and views paper reader…
Edited to say, as someone who was 50 this year I’m not eligible for the booster until later this month anyway.
