Covid-19: Vaccine rollout in England extends to 44-year-olds

Covid-19: Vaccine rollout in England extends to 44-year-olds About half a million more people in England are being invited to book their Covid-19 jab from Monday, as the vaccine rollout opens to 44-year-olds.

Two-thirds of the previous age group - 45 to 49-year-olds - have received their first dose.

The NHS said it would set out when 40 to 43-year-olds would be able to book appointments "in the coming days", and as supply allows. BBC News
