Prime Minister Boris Johnson leaves Downing Street to attend the weekly session at Parliament in London today.

But he told lawmakers: “I finally got news and I’ve got to have my own jab, very shortly, I’m pleased to discover.Johnson, who is 56, is among the next category of people being called for vaccination. The government hopes to have offered it to all adults by July. But Queen Elizabeth II’s oldest son and heir, Prince Charles, on Wednesday criticised opposition to coronavirus vaccines, saying fear was unfounded.

The 72-year-old Prince of Wales tested positive for coronavirus last year and suffered mild symptoms. He had his first dose of a vaccine in February.“You take what you are given,” she said as the pair visited a vaccination centre at a north London mosque, adding that she had no ill effects.Professor Jeremy Brown, from government advisory body the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation said suspension of the jab was “not logical”.

The EMA, the World Health Organization and Britain’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency have all backed the AstraZeneca jab, he wrote in The Sun.
