The target for giving every adult in England their Covid booster jab has been brought forward to the end of December, but how can you get yours in Essex?

Boris Johnson, in a pre-recorded message to the nation on Sunday, said Britain “must urgently reinforce our wall of vaccine protection”.

The booster jab will help protect against a “tidal of wave Omicron” that could cause “very many deaths” the prime minister said.

With scientists discovering that being fully vaccinated is “simply not enough”.
