Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson has joined Sir Geoff Hurst and other sporting icons to urge people aged 70 and above to receive their COVID-19 vaccination.
Hodgson said: “A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to get the notification that it was my turn to receive the coronavirus vaccine, so I didn’t hesitate to go along to my local medical centre. The process was simple, everything was extremely well organised. The jab, which one hardly feels, was over in seconds and in no time I found myself back at home.
“I urge anyone like me, aged 70 and over, if you haven’t yet received your vaccine, please come forward and make an appointment as soon as you can.
