the military are also on hand, like here at st helens on merseyside.g up capacity, clinics opening longer and we have managed to do all of that in just one day. it will take more than vaccinations to slow the spread of omicron, and a key tool is testing. due to high demand, this morning there were no in—person pcr tests in england. the bbc has been told that more will be released this afternoon and home tests are available. high demand for lateral flow tests is also expected to intensify from today as fully vaccinated people in england who come into contact with covid are required to take the test for seven days. hopefully people are being sensible and only getting tests when they need them. if people can hold off and not get extra tests just in case, that would also be helpful. data suggests a booster will provide significant protection from the omicron variant, but the former head of the uk“s vaccination task force has warned mps that in the future cheaper ways to administer jabs will be needed. whether that is patches, pills, sprays, whatever they m
