That is not surprising. UK targeted very high vaccination rates for those most likely to die from the disease.
> As of 4th July, 2,118,096 (93.8%) of the clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV) population have been vaccinated with at least one dose. This includes all CEV individuals, even if they were vaccinated as part of a higher priority cohort. Of those, more than 9 in 10 (2,046,244, 96.6%) have received a 2nd dose (90.7% of all CEV individuals).

It is a bigger issue in countries like the US where vulnerable populations are refusing the vaccine.
