New vaccine drive as data shows more than 1 in 3 young people in Newcastle haven't had Covid jabs

More than a third of 18 to 29 year-olds in Newcastle are unvaccinated against Covid-19 - and senior medics are now launching another campaign to persuade as many people as possible to get their jabs.

With large numbers of young people yet to have the vaccines across the North East, the Change of Heart campaign is pushing to reassure that group of that the jabs are safe and that they should feel comfortable changing their minds.

NHS data released by the campaign shows that in Newcastle, 35% of people in the age-range haven't had their jabs. That means there are thought to be 27,934 people unprotected against Covid-19.
