Jo Whiley on the “cruellest twist” of being offered a vaccine before her disabled sister, who now has Covid.

DJ Jo Whiley has called it the “cruellest twist in the world” that she was offered a vaccine before her disabled sister, who is in hospital with Covid “fighting for her life”.

Her sister Frances has a learning disability and diabetes.

Jo said Frances was offered a vaccine on Saturday night, but she said it’s “too late”.

Speaking on The Andrew Marr Show, her message was to “forget the classifications” and protect all people with learning disabilities.
