The National Health Service (NHS) in England on Tuesday expanded the Covid-19 vaccination programme to the next cohort on its age-based priority list to all above 45 years of age, after it announced that the target to cover over-50s had been met ahead of the April 15 deadline.
The Government had set a target to offer a Covid-19 jab to all over-50s, the clinically vulnerable and health and social care workers – about 32 million people – by this Thursday.
