Covid-19 UK: Jeremy Hunt pushes to get booster jabs dished out before Christmas

Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Covid-19 UK: Jeremy Hunt pushes to get booster jabs dished out before Christmas” – below is their description.

The former Health Secretary said earlier boosters would help increase uptake and ensure grandparents had the best protection possible before the Christmas holidays. Mr Hunt, who also stood for the Conservative leadership, told the Commons: ‘Does it really matter when it’s only nine weeks until the Christmas holidays if someone has their booster jab after five months? And should we not look at whether there should be flexibility in that decision so we can get more people in more quickly for their booster jabs?’
