Next in line are people aged 65 and over, pregnant women and carers. This group can now book an appointment through the National Booking Service.

The NHS says it will contact eligible people when it is their turn.

Neil Smurthwaite, Senior Responsible Officer for the vaccination programme in Calderdale, said: “Although life has gone back to normal for most people, Covid hasn’t gone away and the boosters will help make sure those at greatest risk maintain high levels of protection against Covid-19 this winter.”
