Commenting on a record number of vaccinations yesterday (Monday 13th December) Dr Emily Lawson, Head of the NHS COVID-19 vaccination programme said: “The NHS experienced its busiest Monday ever for vaccinations since the rollout began in December last year and an incredible 418,000 boosters were delivered yesterday alone, with 185,000 of these delivered by community pharmacies – a remarkable achievement.
“As part of the national mission to protect the country from the new Omicron variant, NHS staff and volunteers are pulling out the stops to jab as many people as possible at speed with more vaccine sites jabbing than ever before.
“The data is clear – boosters offer critical protection against the new variant and so it has never been more important to come forward and book your slot to guarantee that you get that lifesaving jab.”
