Following cases of the new Omicron variant being found in the UK, the booster jab campaign is being stepped up.

Although it is not known how effective current vaccines will be against the new variant, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in his press conference on Saturday November 27 that they would at least offer some measure of protection.

Those who are eligible for a booster vaccine are those aged 40 and over, and the first two doses for those who haven't had them are still available.

There are a number of walk-in vaccination centres across Essex, where you could either get the first and second dose or the booster jab.
