Thousands of people in the Arun District have still not received their booster vaccine, including potentially vulnerable people aged over 50, as cases of the highly infectious Omicron variant continue to climb across the UK.

This represents 74.4 per cent of the local population, meaning 20,593 people over 50 have yet to receive a booster or third dose.
