RE: UK alert level raised to four due to Omicron13 Dec 2021 09:53
Huge queues are forming outside vaccination centres as Brits scramble to get their booster jabs as the new rollout gets off to a chaotic start.
Boris Johnson announced an accelerated booster rollout plan on Sunday, however it has already run into trouble after the NHS website crashed.
An error message came up on the site on Sunday and Monday which stopped people from booking their jabs, blaming 'technical difficulties'.
Meanwhile, the gov.uk website has stated that there are no more coronavirus home test kits available and urged Brits to 'try again later'.
People trying to book their booster on Monday were met with a holding page saying the site is 'currently experiencing technical difficulties'.
The crash comes after Boris Johnson urged people to book their third dose to tackle the spread of the Omicron strain.
