People aged 38 to 39 in England are being invited to book Covid-19 vaccinations from today.
The vaccine rollout will continue to younger age groups, with the aim of giving all adults at least one dose by the end of July, NHS England confirmed.
People under 40 are being offered an alternative to the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab, such as the Pfizer vaccine.
This is due to the link between the AstraZeneca jab and extremely rare blood clots.
