Our NHS and care staff have been extraordinary throughout the pandemic, and are working flat out over the Christmas period getting booster jabs into arms.
Thank you for everything you do. twitter.com/CMO_England/st…

An astonishing 30 million booster doses have been administered across the United Kingdom, with more than 6 million in the last week alone.

Great to speak to German Chancellor @OlafScholz today.
We spoke about the close friendship between our two nations.
I look forward to working with Olaf in the years ahead.

I want to pass on my best wishes for a Happy Christmas to our Armed Forces across the world and their families at home.
You have shown yet again in 2021 that you are equal to any trial or crisis and once again you have filled our hearts with pride 🇬🇧

Thank you to everyone across the country involved in our national testing mission.
We have the largest testing capacity in Europe, and last week over 70 million lateral flow tests were dispatched.
Only through testing can we fundamentally track infections & understand COVID-19.

Football clubs are the heart of our communities, so I pay tribute to @buryfcofficial fans and @JamesDalyMP who have shown great resolve to bring their beloved club back to life.
By helping to rescue Gigg Lane stadium, they are putting the club’s future back in the hands of fans. twitter.com/luhc/status/14…

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
He was a critical figure in the fight against apartheid and in the struggle to create a new South Africa - and will be remembered for his spiritual leadership and irrepressible good humour.

There are over 1.5 million vaccination slots available to book in England in the coming days.
We know two jabs don’t give you enough protection against Omicron so whether it's your first, second or booster jab I urge you to book an appointment now.

We will continue to monitor the data carefully, but there will be no new restrictions introduced in England before the New Year. 1/2
2061
However, I would urge everyone to continue to act cautiously given the rising number of Omicron cases.
Most importantly I urge everyone to get their first, second or booster jab without delay to protect yourselves and your loved ones. 2/2

Getting the booster is absolutely crucial in protecting yourself and your loved ones against Omicron.
Get boosted now.

2022 is almost upon us. Whatever the challenges that lie ahead in the coming weeks and months, our position today is incomparably better than last year.
Make it your New Year’s resolution to get your jabs and do something that will make 2022 a happy New Year for us all.

These recipients have inspired and entertained us and given so much to their communities in the UK or in many cases around the world.
We thank them as a country for their dedication and outstanding contribution. twitter.com/cabinetofficeu…

132 million Covid-19 vaccinations in a single year is a phenomenal achievement.
It simply wouldn't have been possible without the tireless work of the NHS and volunteers to get jabs in arms – saving countless lives.
Please keep coming forward: Get Boosted Now. twitter.com/SkyNews/status…

Get Boosted Now to protect yourself and your loved ones – it’s the easiest New Year’s resolution you can make.
Thank you to staff and volunteers at the Guttmann Vaccination Centre in Aylesbury, where they’ve given over 145,000 vaccinations.

A year ago the UK became the first country in the world to administer the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
I’m extremely proud of the UK-made vaccine, with an incredible 2.5 billion doses delivered at-cost to more than 170 countries, saving a great many lives.
