A Windrush campaigner has pleaded with people from black and Asian communities to get the Covid vaccine after being sent questions from sceptics when he got the jab himself.
Patrick Vernon filmed himself after being vaccinated as part of his crusade for more black and Asian people to get the jab with shocking figures showing the uptake is low among some communities.
The clip had a broadly positive impact, but some asked Patrick if he was all right while others even jokingly wondered if he had "grown a tail".
Data released last month shows 14.4% of white people in England have been vaccinated, compared with 9.2% of Asian people, 6.8% of black people and 4.7% from mixed ethnic groups.
