Still need your Covid jab? 💉 An army of volunteers are keeping many vaccination hubs open on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. 🎄
Ms Board said first, second and booster vaccines would be available.
She said: "We were really surprised that the capacity we put out was very quickly snapped up, which is absolutely great, which shows us that people really do want to come forward and be vaccinated. "We're hoping that more take the opportunity to come and get the vaccine on the day, and we would welcome people."Asked about the challenge of persuading people to volunteer, Ms Board described it as "relatively easy".
"I said to the staff 'Is anybody up for this?' and quite quickly I had names on the list to say 'Yep, I'm there - I want to do it'," she added. Non-urgent operations are already being cancelled across the capital's hospitals due to the Omicron surge leading to rising staff absences.
