A NEW calculator is predicting how long it will take for each person to get the coronavirus vaccine.

Omni's website estimates how many people are ahead of you in the queue for the jab in the UK using the government's priority list. 

It comes as the NHS start rolling out the Oxford University / AstraZeneca vaccination in the city today.

Addressing the nation last week, prime minister Boris Johnson said the UK had pre-ordered 100 million doses of the newly approved vaccine which combined with the Pfizer jab would be enough to vaccine every adult in the UK should they want it. 

But with 66 million people in the UK - how long will it be until you can be vaccinated? 

The Omni calculator asks users their age, whether they work in a care home or live in one, work in health care, or if they are pregnant. 

It also needs to know if you were asked to shield in lockdown or if you have any underlying health conditions. 

Oxford Mail:

Based on the form it can guess how many people are ahead of you in the queue and estimate when you are likely to be vaccinated using a rate of 70per cent uptake and 1million people a week. 

As an example, a 30-year-old - who does not work in health care or at a care home, is not pregnant, and does not have underlying health conditions - will have somewhere between 27,132,105 and 38,844,493 people in front of them in the queue. 

They can also expect to receive two doses of the vaccine between January 19 and July 2, 2022.

A 65-year-old with the same set of circumstances will have somewhere between 9,926,645 and 12,305,865 people in front of them and can expect to receive the two doses between May 23 and June 25 this year. 

However, a 45-year-old health care worker will be much higher up the queue with 503,378 and 4,384,545 people in front of them.

Oxford Mail:

They can expect to be fully protected between April 5 and May 29 this year.
