Are you concerned about the slow start to London’s coronavirus vaccine booster campaign, which was highlighted in the Evening Standard, and what plans do you have to help speed up the rollout of boosters?

From the start of the booster roll-out, London has been the leading region in England for booster-take up amongst the eligible population. More than 2.3 million Londoners have now received their COVID booster jabs.

This December, half a million more appointments will be available in every borough of the city, with even more hospital hubs joining the mission to get London vaccinated. Existing hospital hubs, vaccination centres, pharmacies, GP surgeries and community pop ups will also be stepping up capacity to deliver jabs across the city, making it even more convenient for Londoners to get their first, second or booster jab. This comes following the announcement that more people will start to become eligible for the vaccine in the coming weeks.
