As the race to get a Covid-19 booster jab continues and long queues form outside vaccination centres, how realistic is the government’s target to get everyone triple vaccinated by the end of the year?
In London, already more than half of all coronavirus cases are of the Omicron variant, and the number of coronavirus patients in the capital’s hospitals is at its highest level since March.

The Evening Standard’s Health Editor Ross Lydall discusses how the UK’s booster programme is going, and how big a risk the Omicron variant poses to the nation and the NHS.
