A record number of boosters were booked yesterday, yet 4.7 million people in England have yet to come forward for even their first jab.

All this as infections are rising in all age groups in England, and in almost every part of the country.

Latest figures show another 52,000 new cases in the last 24 hours, the highest level for three months, and a further 115 deaths were reported.

NHS England says it has delivered more than four million booster doses of the vaccine.
