Booster rollout carries on through Christmas in ‘jingle jab’ campaign
on Christmas Day, NHS England has announced as part of increased efforts to top-up protection against the Omicron variant.
NHS England advised booking in advance but said there will be options available for people without appointments across the country, including in Eastbourne, Hartlepool, Croydon and Dewsbury.Experts have warned that while a first or second dose can help, only boosters provide the maximum level of protection against Omicron.
The push over the festive period comes after a bumper weekend of 1.5 million doses and a record-breaking week for booster jabs. On Wednesday, 1.06 million vaccines were administered, the highest number ever – 968,665 of which were top-up doses.Health Secretary Sajid Javid paid tribute to NHS staff and volunteers giving up their time with family and friends to help the booster rollout over Christmas.
