Over-18s queue at vaccination pop-up centres in London

People aged over 18 in England queued on Saturday at pop-up vaccinations centres dotted around the country. The pop-up centres are aimed at getting more adults vaccinated quickly amid a 79% rise in one week in cases of the Delta variant. The increase is largely being driven by younger age groups. Britain has recorded almost 128,000 coronavirus deaths, one of the highest death tolls in Europe. The government has delayed the planned lifting of remaining social and economic restrictions until July 19 amid a rise in cases driven by the highly contagious delta variant.
