London Mayor Sadiq Khan has stressed that Britons don't need to be registered with a GP in order to get vaccinated.The bookings surge came at the end of a week which had already seen almost 1.8 million appointments made in just three days after the NHS vaccination programme opened up to people in their early 20s.
"That's why it's good news that COVID vaccinations are now open to all adults across the country, and already well over three million people in their 20s have now had their first jab." Health Secretary Matt Hancock added:"It's incredible to see the enthusiasm young people are showing for vaccination across the country, and it is a testament to the fantastic work of the team in keeping as many people safe from COVID-19 as possible."
The Sunday Telegraph has claimed that Mr Hancock failed to tell the prime minister about a major study that showed the effectiveness of vaccines against the Delta variant during a key meeting called to decide whether plans to ease lockdown on 21 June.
Why do they need a vaccination from something that is highly unlikely to make them ill (the vaccine is riskier), and makes them no less likely to pass covid on to others! Just doesn’t make sense to me 🤷🏻♀️
Well done, kids. Do as you're told. Maybe they'll let you go to the park and hug your friends now. That'll make it all worth it, won't it?
