Masud Ahmad, 79, receives an injection of the Oxford/AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine at the Al Abbas Mosque, Birmingham, which is being used as a covid vaccination centre. The imam of a mosque thought to be the UK’s first to host a vaccination centre has urged local people to ignore “fake news” claims surrounding coronavirus. Groups of two people at a time were vaccinated from Thursday morning in a multi-purpose hall at the Al-Abbas Islamic Centre in Balsall Heath, Birmingham. Imam Nuru Mohammed said he was “elated and inspired” that the NHS centre had been set up after help from several medical professionals among the 2,000-strong religious community.
