Mr Starmer said: “It has been such a difficult year and the vaccination programme is the light at the end of the tunnel.
“The vaccine is safe, effective and I urge everyone in our community to take it when it’s their turn.”
Ms West tweeted: “Thank you @rustlehearn for vaccinating me at Wightman Road Mosque in Haringey today, and to all the team helping.
“Remember Hornsey and Wood Green - when you get the call, take your vaccine. It's free, safe, and effective.”
