The body which advises the government on Covid-19 vaccines says everyone registered as having a learning disability is now eligible to get a jab.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation made the change after pressure from a number of public figures, including the Radio 2 presenter, Jo Whiley.
Her disabled sister had to go into hospital after contracting the virus at her care home.
Ms Whiley said she was delighted about the prioritisation move.
