Health Secretary persuades reporter to get booster jab

THE Health Secretary persuaded a journalist to get his booster jab after being interviewed.

Sajid Javid was being asked questions on Sky News by Jon Craig near St Thomas’ Hospital in Westminster on Monday night.

The pair were chatting as they prepared for the interview outside the vaccination centre when Mr Javid asked the journalist if he had been for his booster jab.

He explained that he got Covid whilst covering the Hartlepool by-election and therefore believed he wasn’t eligible for his third dose until Dec 14.

The Health Secretary pointed out that the rule changes meant he was now allowed to get his booster.

After the interview, Mr Javid asked if Mr Craig wanted to be accompanied to the clinic. “Come on, I’ll walk in with you. Let’s do it,” said Mr Javid.

Mr Craig got his booster there and then, his colleague said.
