UK´s Johnson urges people to get Covid 19 vaccine in Christmas message

London, Dec 24 (UNI/Sputnik) UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday urged people in the United Kingdom to get a Covid 19 vaccine as a Christmas present to their "family and the whole country," amid an unprecedented surge of infections caused by the Omicron variant of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
"And though the time for buying presents is theoretically running out, there is still a wonderful thing you can give your family and the whole country … and that is to get that jab, whether it is your first or second, or your booster," Johnson said in a video message released by his office on Christmas Eve.
The prime minister, who has resisted calls from the scientific community to impose more Covid 19 restrictions this week or after Christmas, advised people, however, to take extra precautions when meeting their families and friends during the festivities.
