Health service to start administering boosters and jabs for children amid growing fears of winter crisis
The NHS is preparing to start delivering more than 1m Covid and flu jabs a day across the UK in a drive to save lives and stop hospitals becoming overwhelmed this winter.
NHS chiefs expect the record 844,285 vaccines delivered on 20 March to be exceeded within days as a result of GPs and other vaccinators administering Covid booster jabs to adults, jabs for children aged 12 to 15, and the roll out of winter flu shots.
