Young people suffering from long Covid are calling for others their age to get vaccinated.

Ella Harwood, a 23 year old illustrator from Sutton, is sharing her experience in an NHS video.

She was treated at Epsom and St Helier University Hospital when she contracted coronavirus – she was healthy before,  as were the others who're featured.

Data from Public Health England shows 16 to 29-year-olds are most likely to have the condition which remains after recovering from the main virus.

Despite that, vaccine uptake among that age group's lower than average.
