It's part of the 'jingle jab' campaign
NHS England said its "jingle jab" campaign will see Covid vaccines administered at local sites such as town halls and pharmacies over the Christmas weekend.
She said: "We've seen record after record broken in the run-up to the festive season and I want to thank every NHS staff member and volunteer whose goodwill and determination to protect their communities will keep the booster rollout going this Christmas weekend." Prof Clare Bryant - a professor of immunology at the University of Cambridge - told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that additional booster shots in the form of a fourth dose would be needed at some point, but exactly when was not yet clear.
