RESIDENTS over the age of 75 who have not received their Covid-19 vaccination are being urged to contact their GP surgery.

Barrow and Millom Primary Care Network is calling on patients registered to a practice in Barrow and Millom who have not had a coronavirus vaccination to get in touch.

A spokesman said: "Can anyone over the age of 75 years, registered in a GP practice in Barrow or Millom, get in touch with their respective practices if they haven’t had their Covid vaccination please."

People in England in their 70s, and those listed as clinically extremely vulnerable, will begin receiving offers of a coronavirus vaccine this week.
