All adults in England are expected to be able to book a COVID-19 jab 'by the end of this week', the head of the NHS has said.

All adults in England are expected to be able to book a COVID-19 jab"by the end of this week", the head of the NHS has said.

Sir Simon Stevens, chief executive of the NHS in England, has told the NHS Confederation annual conference that the NHS would"finish the job" of the COVID-19 vaccination programme to the"greatest extent possible" over the next four weeks. Sir Simon said:"It is now very important that we use the next four weeks to finish the job to the greatest extent possible for the COVID vaccination programme, which has been a historic signature achievement in terms of the effectiveness of delivering by the NHS - over 60 million doses now administered."And we're making great strides also in extending the offer to all adults. Today people aged 23 and 24 are able to vaccinate through the National Booking Service.

"Of course, vaccine supply continues to be constrained, so we're pacing ourselves at precisely the rate of which we're getting that extra vaccine supply between now and July 19."
