A new campaign could soon see unvaccinated Brits offered jabs on their own doorsteps by visiting health teams.<\/p>\n

The threat and rapid spread of the Omicron variant triggered new coronavirus restrictions in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

Whether England will follow suit remains uncertain, but the Government is reportedly hoping to fight Omicron with door-to-door vaccines instead, according to the\u00a0Mail on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It comes after a similar month-long trial in Ipswitch, Suffolk, which began at the end of November.<\/p>\n

Public health teams started in Ipswitch\u2019s Westgate\u00a0area \u2013 where there is a low vaccine uptake rate \u2013 and went to each house.<\/p>\n

They chatted with people who had concerns about the vaccine and offered transport to centres where people could get their jabs.<\/p>\n

There was also a bus touring the area and offering shots on the go, so locals did not even have to make their way anywhere.<\/p>\n

Similar efforts were seen in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and now they may be extended across the country<\/p>\n

One Cabinet Minister told the Mail on Sunday: \u2018I think anything that encourages the vaccine-hesitant is sensible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018The mood in the country is hardening against people who refuse to be vaccinated.\u2019<\/p>\n

Doctors have said up to 90% of Covid patients in intensive care units are unvaccinated.<\/p>\n

While tens of millions of doses of the Covid vaccine have been administered across the UK, there are still millions of people who are completely unvaccinated.<\/p>\n

England is anxiously waiting to see if Boris Johnson will curb freedoms before New Year\u2019s Eve amid surging infections.<\/p>\n

But the Prime Minister would have to recall Parliament to do this and some believe\u00a0he is running out of time<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, whether Mr Johnson chooses to implement new rules or not,\u00a0schools are not expected to be closed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A source close to Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi told the\u00a0Sunday Times<\/a>: \u2018The PM and Nadhim are fully committed to keeping schools open and there\u2019s a shared commitment across Government to do so.<\/p>\n

\u2018Education is a top priority and school closures are not something being considered.\u2019<\/p>\n

In Wales, a maximum of six people are allowed to meet in pubs, cinemas and restaurants from Boxing Day.<\/p>\n

Just 30 people are now allowed at indoor events while 50 people are allowed outdoors.<\/p>\n

Nightclubs have closed and two-metre social distancing requirements are back in place.<\/p>\n

In Scotland, large events have to have one-metre physical distancing and will be limited to 100 people standing indoors, 200 people sitting indoors and 500 people outdoors.<\/p>\n

From tomorrow, only up to three households can meet and socialise and they have to keep a distance of one metre between them.<\/p>\n

Anywhere serving alcohol can only do so with table service.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Northern Ireland has closed nightclubs and indoor standing events have been banned.<\/p>\n

Only three households are allowed to mix and the \u2018rule of six\u2019 has returned to hospitality venues.<\/p>\n
