PEOPLE in Oxfordshire aged 21 and 22 are now eligible to book their Covid-19 vaccine.

This follows a Government pledge that all adults in England should be able to book their first jab by the end of this week.

Currently, only 18 to 20-year-olds are left to wait for the call as those who will turn 21 before July 1, 2021, can also book their first appointment.
