Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Sunday evening that he wants to offer a booster jab to everyone over 18 by the end of the year.

From Monday, everyone over the age of 30 who had their second jab at least three months ago was eligible to make an appointment for a vaccine using the national booking system, with appointments for over 18s available from tomorrow.

But there have already been concerns nationally about the difficulty in obtaining an appointment online, with long queues on the website and slots not available until 2022.

To book an appointment in the borough, call 01942 807780.
