People over 60 in England can now be vaccinated against Covid-19

NHS England said GPs can now move onto vaccinating priority groups five and six (PA)

People aged 60 to 69 will now be invited for a Covid-19 vaccine in England if supplies allow and if GPs have done all they can to reach those at higher risk.

Some parts of England have already begun vaccinating the over-65s with their first dose after they reached everyone in the top four priority groups – including the over-70s and care home residents – who wanted a jab.
