People queue for booster jabs as rollout is extended

With the UK’s Covid alert raised to 4 due to an incoming “tidal wave of Omicron”, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has ramped up the booster vaccination programme. This means all eligible adults should be offered a booster dose by the end of the month, meaning the NHS has to supply 1 million doses a day. Panic to book a booster has lead to the NHS website crashing and national shortages of lateral flow tests.
