The rate of vaccinations is slowing down

Only 82,000 people were vaccinated against Covid-19 in the week that ended on Tuesday.

Just 6,300 got the jab on Monday, as 91 per cent of over-18s are now fully protected.

Immunologist Lara Dungan is encouraging those who haven't got the jab to come forward.
