Matt Hancock announced that people in their 20s would begin receiving invitations to get inoculated within days as he urged people to get vaccinated as soon as they can. He also signalled support for vaccinating secondary school pupils after the UK's medicines regulator said the Pfizer jab was safe for children over 12-years-old. Mr Hancock said vaccines had "severed but not broken" the link between surging Covid cases and a rise in people being admitted to hospital. Currently, people aged 30 and over can book a Covid jab. Vaccinating secondary school pupils could have "upsides" for education, Mr Hancock said.
