RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Mass vaccination was supposed to be our get-out-of-jail-free card. We should be so lucky. Despite the fact that Britain's rapid inoculation programme has been a spectacular success, the Government is taking no chances. The parole board is having second thoughts. We're not so much getting out of jail free as being released on licence, wearing an electronic ankle tag. We're also going to have to check in regularly with our probation officers. Every single one of us is being urged to take two self-administered Covid tests every week. Even a dodgy 'false positive' will put us straight back in the slammer. Tens of thousands will have to remain under house arrest until they can show they're not carrying the virus. To extend the criminal justice analogy, we're all considered guilty unless we can prove our innocence. So much for 'Cry Freedom!'.

Officials hope the multi-billion-pound scheme, under which everyone in England will be invited to take two free tests a week, will help to ease the country out of lockdown safely.

The UK's MHRA vaccine regulator could stop younger people from having AstraZeneca 's coronavirus jab as soon as today over concerns about rare cases of blood clots. If a ban on under 30s having the jab is confirmed by the MHRA, this would be the first restriction of its kind in the UK and could slow the next stage of the rollout. It comes after 'Professor Lockdown' Neil Ferguson (pictured right) said older and middle-aged groups should 'very much' get the vaccine because the threat of coronavirus far outweighs the risk of the clots, thought to affect just one in 600,000 people (0.00017 per cent). But the SAGE epidemiologist, 53, who himself has had the AstraZeneca jab, said the balance of risk is 'slightly more complicated' when younger people who are less vulnerable to the virus are considered. British scientists say the risk of dying of Covid for 25 to 44-year-olds is 0.04 per cent, and 0.01 per cent for people aged 15 to 24. For comparison, the rate is up to 6 per cent in elderly age groups.
