Starmer urges 500,000-a-day booster jab target

Sir Keir Starmer has said the government needs to "get a grip" and ramp up the Covid booster vaccine programme to deliver half a million jabs per day. The Labour leader said: "The government said the vaccine would be the security wall against the virus and now the government is letting that wall crumble … driving up the booster rates to 500,000 a day is what we should be arguing about, not the argument about Plan A and Plan B.".
