In a week that has seen huge queues of people lining up to receive their jabs, Good Morning Britain host has sought answers from Doctor Amir Khan on the Covid booster side effects.
Giving an address to the nation on Sunday night, Boris Johnson announced Government targets for every eligible adult in the UK to get a booster by the end of December, a much more optimistic goal than the original end of January target.
The Prime Minister appealed to Brits to 'do their bit' and get their booster and this week has seen a huge take up of people getting their jabs, with many people facing lengthy waits online as demand for appointments soared.

Places offering walk-in jabs have also been the scene of long queues, with Newcastle's Grainger Market for Centre for Life among the places offering that service.
Just like with the first two Covid vaccines, a number of people have been left feeling rather lousy after getting their jabs and, explaining why that happens and the best remedies for those who left struggling with side effects, Doctor Amir Khan appeared on Friday's Good Morning Britain to offer advice.
After being asked by host Ben why more people appear to be suffering from the booster than their initial vaccines, Dr Amir began: "The vast majority of the booster jabs are the Pfizer vaccine, similar to what you would have for your first and second dose if that's the vaccine you had.
"Side effects from the vaccine, mild ones, are very common: a sore arm, a headache, fever - it is just your immune system responding to something foreign attacking it, producing beautiful memory cells, neutralising antibodies that will attack the virus in the future should you come across it.
"It's not unusual to get any side effects to vaccines like this."
And then offering tips to those who've been struggling after their booster, Dr Amir added: "Rest, paracetamol and fluids is the way forward."
