Covid: Over-45s invited to book vaccine

Covid: Over-45s invited to book vaccine People aged 45 or over in England can now get a Covid jab, as the vaccination programme enters the next phase.

It comes after all over-50s and those in high-risk groups in the UK were offered a first dose of the vaccine. BBC News
