This Morning's Dr Ranj Singh reveals he's had his first COVID-19 vaccine

This Morning's Dr Ranj Singh has revealed he's had his first COVID-19 vaccine as he urged viewers to get the jab on Friday.

The medic, 41, was filmed heading to a London hub for the injection as he said it was 'extra important' for him to be protected against coronavirus as he continues working on the NHS frontline during the pandemic.

Speaking to Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, Dr Ranj urged viewers to 'listen to the experts' and get the vaccine as he insisted he felt 'absolutely fine' apart from a few minor side effects.

Ranj was filmed heading to a vaccination hub set up on London's Southbank for frontline workers, as he prepared to have the Oxford vaccine, which began its nationwide roll out on Monday.

He explained: 'I've already registered and filled out various forms the other day so hopefully this process is going to be quite quick.

'It's extra important for me to have it because I am from a minority ethnic background and that puts me at slightly higher risk and I'm a frontline worker so it's really really important that I protect myself, my patients and my colleagues.' 

Footage showed Ranj having the injection in his arm, before he said: 'I've had my jab my 15 minutes are over, and I feel absolutely fine. It was so quick and easy and slick.'

Later Ranj filmed himself minutes before going to bed and he once again reassured viewers he hadn't suffered any major side effects.

He added: 'I am going to bed feeling reassured that in a few weeks time I'm going to be so much better protected.'
