More than a quarter of eligible people in east Suffolk are yet to have their coronavirus booster vaccine.

Only 73.2pc have had their third jab - the second lowest in Suffolk, ahead of only the West Suffolk district with 67.3pc.

The figures for the booster are lowest in parts of Lowestoft.

Only 50.9pc of people in Lowestoft Central have had their booster, with the figure rising to 56.2pc in the Harbour and Kirkley ward.

People aged 75 and over, the immunosuppressed and those living in care homes will be offered a second Covid-19 booster this spring, health secretary Sajid Javid announced last month.
