Family doctors across England have begun vaccinating their patients against Covid-19 as health experts issued fresh warnings about a rise in cases caused by Christmas socialising.
GP practices have started taking delivery of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine from central hubs, with the over-80s among those called up to receive the jab.
Dr Gillian Love, clinical director of the Halesowen Primary Care Network, began administering vaccinations to patients in the West Midlands area on Monday afternoon.
She said: “The vaccine is a fantastic opportunity to restore a degree of normality, for families and friends to reconnect, and for the country to get back on its feet.
