Mass vaccinations are taking place once more at sites across the east of England.
Mass Covid vaccinations have been taking place as the government ramps up the booster programme, amid fears over the Omicron variant. About 10,000 people turned up at Newmarket Racecourse in Suffolk for a jab, and more than 2,000 were at a leisure centre in Saffron Walden, Essex.

Dr Richard Boyce, a GP in Saffron Walden, is one of the people behind the vaccination centre at the Lord Butler leisure centre.
