Young people in Leeds urged to 'grab a jab' ahead of return to schools, colleges and universities

Invitations for the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine were rolled out to 16 and 17-year-olds last month, after The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) updated its guidance.

The NHS in Leeds is working to vaccinate as many people in the age bracket as possible before pupils head back to the classroom, hoping to reduce the effect of the 'pingdemic' and avoid disruption to education.
