A spokesperson for the Covid-19 vaccination programme said “Our vaccination teams have been working hard to call in 16 and 17 year olds for their vaccine, but we know that walk-in clinics really work for this group so they can come with family and friends.

“There are more than ten sites which are open for walk-in vaccinations- with Brighton, Chichester and Eastbourne open every single day.

“With schools and colleges re-opening next week after the summer, we want as many 16-17 year olds to be protected before term starts, and so we encourage anyone who is in this age group and who hasn’t had it yet to come forward this week.”
