People under 30 could be offered the Covid vaccine in England within the next week, as Health Secretary Matt Hancock on Sunday celebrated the UK reaching 60 million vaccines.
More than 750,000 doses were handed out on Saturday. An official told the Daily Mail that “if all goes to plan” everyone in their 30s will have received a vaccine invite within the next three days, and those in their 20s soon after.
It comes as India crossed another grim milestone on Monday of more than 300,000 people lost to Covid as a devastating surge of infections appeared to be easing in big cities but was swamping the poorer countryside.
India's death toll is the third-highest reported in the world, accounting for 8.6 per cent of the nearly 34.7 million coronavirus fatalities globally, though the true numbers are thought to be significantly greater.
