GPs and hospitals expected to delay some appointments in coming weeks to aid rollout of booster vaccines to combat Omicron variant
Here are some more lines from what Sajid Javid said about Omicron and the booster jabs rollout in his morning interviews. Javid, the health secretary, said that he could not confirm that anyone has died from the Omicron variant in England. There are about 10 people in hospital with the variant, he said. But he dismissed claims this meant it was not a threat. “There is always a lag between infection and then hospitalisation and then, sadly, death,” he told Sky News.
