British prime minister Boris Johnson has urged the public to get vaccinated in a Christmas message released on Friday.
"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 your second, or your booster," he said.
Johnson, who had previously ruled out new Covid-19 restrictions before Christmas, said he believed this year's holiday would be "significantly better" than last year's, which occurred while mixing between households was not allowed.
Getting Covid booster follows ‘teaching of Jesus Christ’, says Boris Johnson
