The family of a 100-year-old Leeds woman have spoken of their upset at her being made to wait for the coronavirus jab.

Margaret Marshall has not yet received the potentially life-saving injection more than a month after the vaccination programme was rolled out.

Relatives of the Roundhay great-grandmother say they have no idea when she will receive it despite around 40,000 people in the city already being vaccinated.

Son Andrew said he has become frustrated after making repeated calls to her GP Surgery - Street Lane Practice - and being told to wait.

He told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "I have contacted the surgery a number of times and they just keep saying they have no information for us.

"It's basically 'don't call us, we'll call you'. We just keep drawing a blank.

"My mum is obviously anxious to have the vaccine.

"She has always been a survivor and is in good health but it still doesn't seem right."
