People aged 45 or over can now book COVID-19 vaccines, the UK government announced on Tuesday.

“I can announce formally, that from today we have opened up invitations to get a vaccine to all aged over 45, and then we will proceed to everyone aged over 40 in line with supplies,” Health Secretary Matt Hancock said in the House of Commons.
