Councillor Adam Hicken is urging under-30s to get the Coronavirus vaccine when called upon by the NHS. With the age limit now dropping, more and more young people have the chance to receive their first vaccination.
Adam says: "I would urge everyone to go and get the vaccine and do their part to protect their friends and family. As things begin to open up and people start to meet up with friends and family for the first time in months, it is important that we protect each other. In places such as pubs, there is a higher chance of the virus spreading, so it is important that we act to protect ourselves and others by getting the vaccine".
The call comes as more than 10 million vaccine doses have been given out across the West Midlands.
