Every adult in the UK will be able to get a booster vaccine by the end of the year, Boris Johnson has promised. Speaking in a televised address to the nation this evening, the Prime Minister announced that the ‘omicron emergency boost’ would use help from the army to give every over-18 a booster jab by the new year.

He also told the country to expect a ‘tidal wave’ of new cases with the emergence of the omicron variant, as the UK’s Covid alert level was raised from three to four.
