COVID-19: Thousands stuck in queue to book vaccine appointments - and some over-25s told they are 'not eligible'

The NHS website appears to have been hit by a glitch as thousands of 25 to 29-year-olds try to book their vaccine appointments. Many within the new, lowered age range have been told they are 'not eligible' for the jab, while others have reported virtual queues of almost 11,000 people. Others have reportedly received a message stating 'you are now in a queue, lots of people are trying to book an appointment', without receiving any suggestion of their position or how long they will have to wait.
