All adults in England will be offered a COVID-19 booster shot by the end of the year in response to a 'tidal wave of Omicron', UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has declared.

United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned there is a"tidal wave of Omicron coming" as he outlined a new jab target - to offer every adult a booster vaccine by the end of December.

Mr Johnson's announcement comes after Chief Medical Officers raised the COVID-19 alert level in England to four - the second highest level - which indicates the transmission level is"high or rising exponentially". "I am afraid we are now facing an emergency in our battle with the new variant, Omicron," he said in a televised statement on Sunday evening.British Prime Minister Boris Johnson provided an update on the COVID-19 booster program.

"Earlier today, the UK's four Chief Medical Officers raised the COVID Alert level to 4, its second highest level, because of the evidence that Omicron is doubling here in the UK every two to three days.The Prime Minister implored residents to get booster vaccines, which can bring the level of protection from the first and second vaccine back up.

"No-one should be in any doubt: there is a tidal wave of Omicron coming, and I'm afraid it is now clear that two doses of vaccine are simply not enough to give the level of protection we all need," he said.

If there is a 'tidal wave of Omicron' coming what does that tell you: * vaccines are losing their effect? * the vaccinated are spreading it more?

Why does this guy always looks like he just got out of bed?

Get boosted now for lower immunity and a life time of drug dependency. Get boosted and roll the dice with a chance at winning a heart attack, a stroke or a blood clot.

Tidal wave… please they hype is ridiculous

at least you are not forced to get the booster unlike people in New Zealand. Your vaccine passport expires after 6 months if you do not get the booster...
