PEOPLE aged 32 and 33 will now be invited to have their Covid-19 vaccination - the NHS has confirmed.

One million more people in their thirties can now get the life-saving covid jab, as the NHS opens bookings for people aged 32 and 33 from today (May 22).

As the biggest and fastest vaccination programme in NHS history continues rolling out, 1.1 million more people will be able to book their jab from 7am.

Texts inviting people to book a vaccination will be sent to those aged 33 from today and those aged 32 from Monday.

NHS Chief Executive Sir Simon Stevens said: “Today, the biggest NHS vaccination programme in history hits another milestone as we pass 50 million life-saving jabs delivered across England.

"Over four fifths of people in their forties and over half of people aged 35-39 have now had their first jab, and today we're extending the offer to 33 year olds."

When invited, people will be able to book at one of the vaccination centre, pharmacy or general practice sites across the country that are available through the national booking service.

Text invitations appear as an alert from ‘NHSvaccine’, including a web link to the NHS website to reserve an appointment.

People who cannot go online can call the service on 119 instead to book their jab.
