This is when ‘at-risk’ priority group 6 could get the Covid vaccine

The Covid-19 vaccine rollout is the largest immunisation programme in the UK’s history.

More than 13 million people in the country have now had at least one dose of a jab.

The two vaccines being administered were developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca, while a third, from Moderna, has been approved and should arrive in the UK in the spring.

Who gets the vaccine first is determined by a nine-group priority list.

So, when will group six - people aged 16 to 65 years in an at-risk group - be inoculated, and who falls into that category?

Here is everything you need to know.

When will group 6 get the vaccine?

The most vulnerable people in the country are receiving a coronavirus vaccine first.

The UK Government is moving down a list of nine high-priority groups, which covers up to 99 per cent of people who are most at risk of dying.

The priority groups were decided based on the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI)’s recommendation on who suffers the most from the disease.

The list is as follows:

• Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
• Everyone aged 80 and over, frontline health and social care workers
• People aged 75 and over
• Those aged 70 and over and the clinically extremely vulnerable
• People aged 65 and over
• People aged 16 to 65 years in an at-risk group
• People aged 60 and over
• People aged 55 and over
• People aged 50 and over.

The government is aiming to vaccinate the top four priority groups - residents in a care home and their carers, over 80s and frontline healthcare workers, over 75s, and over 70s and clinically extremely vulnerable people - before 15 February.

Most NHS frontline staff, care home residents and workers and over 75s have now been vaccinated, and some areas are now inviting over 60s for their jab.
