Everyone aged 50 and over in England is now being invited to book a coronavirus vaccination on the NHS website.
It comes after the Government announced last month that all over-50s should be offered a coronavirus vaccine by May.
The Government has set a target to offer a vaccine to all those in the first nine priority groups by then.
This includes older care home residents and staff, everyone over 70, all front line NHS and care staff, those who are clinically extremely vulnerable, the over-65s, all those over 16 with underlying health conditions, the over-60s, over-55s and now the over-50s.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has already recommended that the next phase of COVID vaccinations should continue to prioritise people by age and not their occupation to avoid slowing down the rollout.
People aged 40-49 will be the next in line to get a vaccine after all vulnerable groups and the over-50s are covered.
Anyone in England who is aged over 50 and hasn't had their COVID vaccine can book now here -https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/
