SCORES of people are trying to book their Covid booster jabs before the New Year ahead of Boris Johnson's announcement on Sunday night (December 12). 

The target for giving every adult in England a booster jab has been brought forward by a month over fears of a “tidal wave of Omicron” that could cause “very many deaths”.

Boris Johnson, in a pre-recorded address to the nation on Sunday evening, said Britain “must urgently reinforce our wall of vaccine protection” as he set a new deadline of jabbing everyone over 18 by the new year.

From today (Monday, December 13) anyone over the age of 18 is eligible for the Covid booster vaccine.

You can get a booster dose from a walk-in site if it's been three months (91 days) since your 2nd dose.

The NHS in England has also advised people trying to book a Covid-19 booster online jab to try later or tomorrow as people face a queue on the website.

“For all others experiencing waits, we would advise trying again later today or tomorrow.”
