People will be able to step away from their Christmas celebrations to get boosted on December 25, as part of the national drive to top-up everyone's protection against Omicron

The PM will add: "We have been getting that vaccination that protects us and stops us infecting others.

"And that, after all, is the teaching of Jesus Christ, whose birth is at the heart of this enormous festival, that we should love our neighbours as we love ourselves."All those in the NHS working over Christmas, our care workers, everyone involved in the incredible vaccination campaign." This makes up the "Omicron Emergency Boost" plan, which Mr Johnson said was a "national mission unlike anything we have seen before in the vaccination programme".

Dr Emily Lawson, head of the NHS Covid vaccination programme, said: "We've seen record after record broken in the run-up to the festive season and I want to thank every NHS staff member and volunteer whose goodwill and determination to protect their communities will keep the booster rollout going this Christmas weekend.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid paid tribute to NHS staff and volunteers giving up their time with family and friends to help the booster rollout over Christmas.

Just saw the most trippy thing on CNN Donald Trump correcting a grifter, and telling her that the vaccines work I need to take a sit down to recover 😂

Gp won’t see people face to face for 2 years but will come out and jab on Xmas day. Dirty corrupt little bastards all of them

Good. Not everyone celebrates Xmas.

Geez... the people giving the jabs on Christmas day. Put the politicians to shame. When did they all break up again?

Waste of money if they are employing people. We want a break from this madness and most I hope will be enjoying Christmas with loved ones, not be thinking I must go out and get my booster!

Don't waste your time, the vaccine and the boosters don't work.
