Boris Johnson will announce that the Government has met its target to offer all adults in England a booster jab, even though nine million eligible people have failed to receive a third dose.
The Prime Minister will use his New Year’s message to celebrate the “huge national effort” behind the booster jab rollout to date, while urging those who are not fully vaccinated to come forward to receive their first, second and third jabs.
So far, 70 per cent of eligible adults have received their booster dose - a total of 28.1 million and an increase of eight million since the target for the programme was brought forward earlier this month.

An analysis by The Telegraph shows that around 9.2 million adults have not received a booster yet, however.
Some of these people may have been constrained by having recently had coronavirus, since guidance advises against receiving the jab within 28 days of testing positive for the virus.
