Meanwhile, the health officials unveiled further data showing that booster vaccines cut the risk of hospitalization with Omicron by up to 88 percent.
And two doses still slashed the odds by up to 72 percent, up to nearly six months after the jab, the report said.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the recent figures ‘reinforced’ the importance of vaccines in saving lives and preventing serious illness.
The UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson bragged about hitting that target despite figures showing 9.5 million eligible adults in England are still yet to have the booster jab.
