The NHS will have to postpone some planned appointments to meet the target of giving every adult in England a booster jab by the end of the year.
In an address to the nation on Sunday evening, Boris Johnson said Britain ‘must urgently reinforce our wall of vaccine protection’ as he set the new deadline of jabbing everyone over 18 by the new year. Extra vaccine sites will be opened and additional mobile units deployed, clinic opening hours are to be extended to allow people to be jabbed around the clock and at weekends, while thousands more vaccinators will be trained.
