Nurses aware Christmas this year could be worse than last, warns RCN
Thousands are expected to get their Covidbooster jab on Christmas Day, as travellers are hit by flight cancellations over the festive weekend.
Sajid Javid, the health secretary, urged people in England to “make the booster a part of your Christmas” - but vaccination clinics will be closed elsewhere in the UK.
On Christmas Eve, the UK reported more than 122,000 new daily Covid cases, marking the third day in a row infections rose by record levels as Omicron continued its rapid spread.
And across the globe, thousands of flights have been cancelled over the Christmas weekend - including more than 1,700 today.
