London Mayor Sadiq Khan becomes latest politician to have Covid-19 jab
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has become the latest politician to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Khan, 50, received his first dose of the Pfizer jab this morning at a vaccination centre in Mitcham.
Khan suffers with asthma. People aged 16-64 with underlying health conditions are being included in the second phase of the vaccine rollout.
The Mayor tweeted he was “delighted and very grateful” to have been called to have his Covid-19 vaccine.
“My message to anyone who is unsure about having the vaccine: it is safe, effective and will save lives,” he added.
More than 16 million people in the UK have had a first coronavirus vaccine and 573,724 have had their second dose.
