Off the back of the Prime Minister’s announcement on Sunday night (December 12), scores of people are trying to book their Covid booster jabs before the New Year.
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.
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.
In a tweet, the health service said: “The Covid vaccine booking service is currently facing extremely high demand so is operating a queuing system.
“For users aged 18-29, please be aware that booking opens on Wednesday 15 Dec.
“For all others experiencing waits, we would advise trying again later today or tomorrow.”
But if you're willing to queue at a Covid vaccine site today, here's where you can try and get your booster in the Bracknell area.
