'We have prepared a Plan B' Health Secretary Sajid Javid says contingency measures include mandating face-coverings, asking people to work from home, vaccine passports and calling for 'caution'
The next question is on what impact the booster vaccines will have and if experts are following the progress of other countries to predict what will happen here.
He says Israel's data is very interesting but they predominantly used the Pfizer jab on a three and four-week schedule. This means they are longer from their second dose to now and there's likely a difference in the immunity peak when the second dose is timed at a different point. So the information is"not quite as relevant to the UK population as our own data".He says the AZ is a"very good vaccine for its primary cause".
