Why has the booster rollout been accelerated
The Covid vaccine is being offered in a third dose. This was planned long ago because immunity to the virus decreases with time. The original booster was only available to over-40s. However, the Omicron variant has rapidly spread and the program is now being speeded up. The online booking system for those over 30 was opened yesterday. Those aged between 18-29 can book their appointment starting tomorrow.

Today’s website saw over 110,000 visitors before the 9am deadline to obtain a booster injection. The website crashed, leaving some waiting in line for hours. NHS Digital had to add capacity in order to accommodate more customers. According to a spokesperson, the vaccine booking service was experiencing high demand. To manage this, they have established a queueing system. People who are currently not able to book should try to do so again tomorrow or later.

Boris Johnson has set a new deadline for all adults who want to receive a jab this year. However NHS England and the Department of Health say the target is that everyone should be offered the chance to book a jab by then – meaning some people may not receive them until January. Downing Street says the Prime Minister did mean what he stated. The target will mean a million jabs will have to be given every day – many more than the previous daily record of around 850,000.
It is important to understand what this means for vaccination passports.
To gain entry to large venues or nightclubs, people must show their NHS Covid card. Sajid Javid yesterday stated that the passports will require three jabs for entry.
Walk-in vaccination centres have seen thousands of people from all walks of the country.
