A PENSIONER from Carnforth has urged people to 'get the needle before Covid gets you'

Matt Patrick, 82, of Redmayne Drive, got his vaccine boost at the walk in vaccination centre on September 30 and said: "I'm just an 82-year-old with a message to anti-vaxxers. Get the needle before Covid gets you."

In England, 82% of people aged 16 or over have received both jabs of the vaccine.
