NHS England said its "jingle jab" campaign will see Covid vaccines administered at local sites such as town halls and pharmacies over the Christmas weekend.

Prof Clare Bryant - a professor of immunology at the University of Cambridge - told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that additional booster shots in the form of a fourth dose would be needed at some point, but exactly when was not yet clear.
