Younger age groups include NHS, health and social care workers and clinically vulnerable patients.

Appointments are now being offered to those aged 42 and over, or people turning 42 before July 1. Patients can book on for their jabs using the national booking website – click here to book and for more information.

A pop-up clinic is running in Beaumont Leys this week, in an attempt to encourage eligible patients from the area to have their jab.

Held on a drop-in basis, the clinic will invite people to receive their first vaccine without needing to make an appointment.

It was also revealed this week that health bosses are exploring the idea of setting up a drive-through vaccine clinic ready for when younger people are offered their first appointments.
