With news that under 30s will be invited to book their coronavirus vaccine jabs later this week, we've taken a look at who's ahead and who is lagging behind in the vaccine rollout race.
And south east London is performing significantly better than it was in February, when the region as a whole had given jabs to the lowest percentage of over 80s for any region in England.
Bromley leads the way for the region, with Lewisham and Southwark the two slowest boroughs for vaccine jabs.
All south east London boroughs still remain in the bottom half of areas in England, and Lewisham actually in the bottom 10, but all boroughs have now seen well over half of over 50s receive both doses of Covid-19 vaccine.

The latest figures are based on provisional data from NHS England for vaccinations up to May 30 and use population figures from the Office for National Statistics.

These figures show the number of people aged 50 and over and the percentage of people in each local authority who have received both doses.
And in Bromley that number of close to 100,000.
The borough has managed to give two doses to 79.1% of the over 50s section of its population, approximately 96,271 people.

Bexley is close behind, having given two jabs to 78.7% - 68,875 people.
The figures say Greenwich has fully vaccinated 54,892 people over 5, 72.9%.
Lewisham is lagging behind slightly, with just 65.6% of over 50s given both doses, around 51,350 people. This is the tenth lowest rate in the country.
Nearby Dartford boasts a rate of 76.9%, Croydon has 67.4% and Southwark is one step lower than Lewisham with 64.7%.

The highest rate belongs to Stratford-on-Avon, 92.8%, and the lowest is unsurprisingly the City of London at 53.1%.
