While the jabs began in hospitals earlier this week, GP surgeries in the South East had their first doses delivered on Thursday.

GP Dr Andrew Duckworth said: "To be able to give them the first jab relatively early and to keep them safe is a privilege."

International travellers coming into London airports will need to show a negative coronavirus test before being allowed into the UK, the government has announced, in a move which has been welcomed by Heathrow Airport's boss.

The new rules will take effect next week and apply to returning UK nationals as well as foreign citizens.

Passengers will need to produce a test result taken less than 72 hours before boarding planes, boats or trains to the UK, and could be fined £500 in border spot checks without a negative result.

Arrivals will still need to quarantine for 10 days, even with a negative test, unless they are coming from one of the limited number of countries deemed low risk on the government’s travel corridor list.

Heathrow CEO, John Holland-Kaye, told the BBC: "Having called for the introduction of pre-departure testing since last April, we support this development which ensures passengers can continue to travel safely.

"The government must now prioritise the creation of a common international standard for testing that would introduce a global process to protect confidence in future travel."
