Matt Hancock says government is ‘reassured’ jab offers protection against Delta variant as he makes announcement
Everyone aged 25 and over in England will be invited to get a coronavirus jab from Tuesday, Matt Hancock announced, as he said the government was “reassured” the jabs still offered protection against the Delta variant discovered in India.
The health secretary said he was “cheered” by scenes of young people queuing to get their injections, telling the Commons: “The enthusiasm for the jab is not just the preserve of older generations.”
