A 15-year-old girl has died from Covid-19 on the day she was due to be vaccinated.
Jorja Halliday, from Portsmouth, died at the Queen Alexandra Hospital on Tuesday, four days after she received a positive PCR test result.
Her mother, Tracey Halliday, 40, said the GCSE student was a “loving girl, talented kickboxer and aspiring musician”.
Jorja had cancelled her vaccine appointment because she was isolating.
