When can I get my Covid booster vaccine? - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

The NHS in England is gearing up for a major expansion of the Covid-19 booster programme to tackle the threat posed by the omicron variant. On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that vaccination centres will be “popping up like Christmas trees”.

The BBC’s correspondent John Kay visits one centre in Bristol that has experienced a huge rush of visitors in the past few days.

After that, Today’s Mishal Husain asks the Health Secretary Sajid Javid about the scale of the logistical challenge facing the government and whether people should continue to wait for a call from the NHS or go to a vaccination centre.
