MORE than 2,000 Sun readers have already signed up for our brilliant Jabs Army.

TV presenter Ross Kemp is one of those who has been working as a volunteer.
He said: “I thoroughly back the Jabs Army and I’ve seen how effective it was.

“Don’t underestimate Omicron, so we need as many volunteers as possible to stop this new strain of Covid. If you have the time to spare, please become a member of the Jabs Army.”

Piers Morgan added: “I urge anyone who is able to help to join the Jabs Army as soon as possible and help get Britain fully vaccinated and protected. Let’s boost the boosters.”

And Sun columnist and Loose Women regular Jane Moore said: “The work to get the nation jabbed is still ongoing and as important as ever now we’re in the booster season.

“The more volunteers there are to ease the process, the more vaccinations will be dispensed, particularly at walk-in centres.

“So please sign up. Your help will be invaluable.”

Retired businessman Michael Oxley is a volunteer in Harrogate, North Yorks. He said: “My friends volunteered and I thought ‘why not?’ It’s nice to give something back to the community.”
