Covid booster: Hospitals and pharmacies urged to ramp up rollout
NHS England is to issue detailed guidance to hospitals, pharmacists and GPs about the major expansion of the Covid booster vaccine programme. The government is aiming to offer all eligible adults in England a booster jab by the end of January in response to the new Omicron variant. On Tuesday the prime minister said booster doses would be given at 1,500 community pharmacy sites and extra hospital hubs in England - and that 400 military personnel would also be on hand to help with the rollout. Chief executive of the NHS Confederation, which represents the healthcare system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, said accelerating the booster rollout would have "Consequences" for a health service which was already stretched. Since the rollout was expanded, another 14 million adults in England have become eligible for a booster in England alone, Mr Johnson said.
