BORIS Johnson on Monday vowed to put rockets under the booster campaign to offer everyone a third jab by the New Year.
Firing the starting gun on the biggest vaccine blitz in British history, the PM said the rollout would go at "warp speed" to tackle the rip of Omicron.
Huge queues have built up outside walk-in hubs after the NHS booking website crashed under a national stampede for boosters.
Speaking on a visit to a vaccine clinic in West London, the PM said: "We now want to hit warp speed and we'll have to attain a pace and a number of daily booster doses that will exceed anything that we've done before.
"But I've got no doubt at all that we have the people, we have the enthusiasm, we have the fundamental optimism about what we can do, which we've learned from the experience of the last 18 months.
"And I know that people are going to rise to this."
In a sobering TV address to the nation last night the PM called in the military to dramatically scale up the booster programme.
Some 750 soldiers have been deployed to man jab stations and help put shots into arms.
Volunteers such as those signed up to The Sun's Jabs Army are also being called on to ramp up the campaign in Britain's hour of need.
Mr Johnson's ambitious goal of offering all adults a booster by the New Year means 1million jabs a day will need to be delivered.
People will even be able to get jabs on CHRISTMAS DAY.
