People should get their Covid booster jabs as part of a "national mission" to avoid restrictions over Christmas, Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said.
So far, just over 10 million people in the UK have had a top-up jab, which Mr Javid said was a "phenomenal achievement".
But about 30% of over-80s and 40% of over-50s in England are yet to do so, according to government figures.
Mr Javid urged people to "play their part" to help get through the winter.
His comments come as NHS England prepares to invite another three million people for their booster jabs next week. Some 409,663 people received their third vaccine dose on Saturday, official figures show.
Booster jabs are available in the UK to anyone aged 50 and over, front-line health and social care workers and over-16s with some health conditions. They can get it six months - 182 days - after their second dose.
Mr Javid said: "We know immunity begins to wane after six months, especially for the elderly and the vulnerable, and booster vaccines will top-up their protection to keep people safe over the winter."
The health secretary called on younger relatives to support their parents, grandparents and loved ones in getting their Covid and flu jabs urgently.
"And if you haven't yet had your first and second vaccines, it is not too late," he said. "The NHS will always be there to welcome you with open arms.
"If we all come together and play our part, we can get through this challenging winter, avoid a return to restrictions, and enjoy Christmas."

He’s blackmailing older folks: get the shot or face restrictions...

2030 headline

Final warning to humanity- Dr. Yeadon

Long video but worth watching.
Right. He could move to the US and fit right in. Like Megan Markle. (barf)
After all the Smokey the Bear ads (now about “wildfires” instead of “forest fires”) will there now be
“Santa got his shots. Did you? Ask your folks today.”
“I won’t come to your place if you didn’t get vaccinated.—Santa.”
The NHS will make the rest of your body like we made your teeth.
Big Pharma big bucks at work....
This is a world wide crisis—not the virus, but rather the corruption of politicians by Big Pharma.
How about NOT getting any of them and enjoying Christmas even more.
Related. Be sure to read the comments...
I ‘m enjoying it without their poison and without their permission..
“get your 20th booster jab so we can enjoy Christmas”
I think that will be the 2022 headline.
St. Paul was able to enjoy Christmas chained up in a Roman jail. Enjoying Christmas doesn’t depend on a despotic unlawful regime forcing injections upon you.
A whole lot of so-called “leaders” on this planet need to ESAD.
So far, just over 10 million people in the UK have had a top-up jab, which Mr Javid said was a “phenomenal achievement”.
*****
I guess that’s right, but I’d refer to it more as an “astounding phenomena.”
Typical bait and switch. So folks do run out and get “the jab”, or manage to comply with the stated goals. But then, the goal posts will be moved yet again, and there shall be no lifting of restrictions, only more punishing and capricious rules that will prove to be as ineffectual as the current rules.
At some point the “authorities” will run out of excuses for even more new rules, and there will be a reckoning. That may not end well.
That reminds me...anyone seen Twosome Newsom lately?
Good on you! That’s exactly how it should be.
I hate being so conspiratorial, but I can imagine this conversation in the boardroom:
“After we get the injections into a majority of the population, we’ll roll out the next dose and call it a “booster.” When we’re ready, the marketing people are suggesting using “extender” as our meme for the next one.”
That’s a very credible dialog. Same tainted wine, but in a fancy new syringe. Keeps the tainted wine profits building.
