Even more jabs into arms and boost our defences against what may become the biggest wave of covid infections weve seen so far. people were lining up to get their shots at this vaccine centre in grimsby. its more worrying, i think, because you just — we dont know exactly whats going to happen, so its basically just to be safe. ijust want to protect people, as well, that im going to be in contact with. the new 0micron variant is spreading fast, doubling every 2.5 days. new modelling has looked a...

To start booking their boosterjabs from monday. heres our health correspondent, katharine da costa. at vaccine centres around the uk, the race is on to get even more jabs into arms and boost our defences against what may become the biggest wave of covid infections weve seen so far. people were lining up to get their shots at this vaccine centre in grimsby. its more worrying, i think, because you just — we dont know exactly whats going to happen, so its basically just to be safe. ijust want to ...

Ijust want to protect people, as well, that im going to be in contact with. the new variant, 0micron, is spreading fast, doubling every 2.5 days. new modelling has looked at what that might mean for how things might turn out in england under plan b, which sets out a range for possible outcomes. so what does that mean for cases? researchers expect a substantial wait, bigger than last winter, when daily cases peaked at more than 50,000. there is still a lot of uncertainty about how many may end up...

On vaccination, on social distancing and other measures that we are talking a lot about here in the uk right now in terms of making it mandatory to wear a mask in many more places? what is the public health messaging in south africa? sr this time around, the government decided not to go to higher levels of restriction, what we refer to as level one restrictions which is the bare minimum number of restrictions, allowing indoor gatherings up to 750 people as an example as well as outdoor gathering...

Just to be safe. ijust want to protect people, as well, that im going to be in contact with. the new 0micron variant is spreading fast, doubling every 2.5 days. new modelling has looked at what that might mean for how things might pan out in england under plan b. it is not a prediction but sets out a range of possible outcomes. so what does that mean for cases? researchers expect a substantial wave, bigger than last winter, when daily cases peaked at more than 50,000. there is still a lot of unc...

Be done and an enormous amount of damage caused. more on that to come and a little bit more on cvoid and the new modelling around the new variant as well. but right now the time is just coming variant as well. but right now the time isjust coming up variant as well. but right now the time is just coming up to 21 minutes past four. we mustjust pause and catch up with all the latest sports news. a very busy weekend in the world of sport as well. lets return to gavin. i, gavin. it is indeed a very ...

And that wave in january that you are talking about, just to be really clear, is that based on restrictions, whatever you want to call them, remaining as they are now? so work from home if you can, lots and lots of places where you must wear a mask, all those sorts of factors. yes, we took account of that in the modelling so our baseline assumptions are that plan b will remain in effect into the new year and a few months into the new year and even with those restrictions in place were still prot...

The vaccination programme remains key to controlling the spread of omicron. extra resources will be sent to poster protection but in care homes like this one in norwich, another change to visiting rules hasnt brought much cheer. i wouldnt like that. id have to put up with it. once again, the delicate balance between offering covid protection but maintaining vital family contact comes into focus. megan paterson, bbc news. with me is dr nick davies, assistant professor of mathematical modelling, a...
