Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said he is"confident" a booster vaccine campaign can start next month despite reports that experts want more time to consider whether they are needed.
Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Dr Smith said:"We all agree that [the pandemic] is not over until it is over in every corner of the world, because otherwise it will just come roaring back. "Don't forget we think that this started with a handful of cases in one city, in one corner of one country... and it then eclipsed the entire world.
"But one must not take one's eye off the ball here because it would be very easy to unstitch all of the good work we've done so far if it turns out with time we do lose immunity because the vaccines wane in their effectiveness. "As we go into winter, now is a critical period and I think that is why we haven't seen a rash, rushed decision by the JCVI and the government."
