“Vaccines are our way out of the pandemic and I’m delighted we are now inviting people aged 38-39 to get their jabs.
“I urge everybody to get the vaccine as soon as they are eligible to protect yourself and your loved ones.”
The online NHS guidance states people who will turn 38 before July 1, 2021, are eligible to book their vaccinations.
In the UK, it is advised people under the age of 40 receive an alternative vaccine to the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab.
