Illegal immigrants will be granted an 'amnesty' to come forward for Covid jabs, the Daily Mail can reveal today. Officials insist that illegal migrants will not be able to jump the queue for vaccines or use the scheme as a way to acquire other rights. No official count exists for the number of foreigners with 'irregular status' but some estimates put the figure as high as 1.3million. NHS trusts have been told there are to be 'no immigration status checks' on patients who come forward for vaccination. However, it is thought many illegal migrants are reluctant to register with a GP for fear they will be reported to immigration officers.
