As we try now to vaccinate one million Brits a day, your country urgently needs you again

Your call-up

BRITAIN cannot get rapidly boostered without a festive force of 30,000 Sun readers.

Our Jabs Army was pivotal to the first rollout.

And, as we try now to vaccinate one million Brits a day, your country urgently needs you again.

We can question why the Government and NHS were not better prepared for a variant like Omicron, which spreads far faster.

We must never be caught on the hop again — because new Covid versions may keep coming at us for years.

It also appears from early evidence that Omicron may be a milder strain.

But it could still claim many lives if infection numbers continue to explode.

So the boosters are crucial — to maximise our protection against severe illness or death and see off the nightmare of “Plan C” lockdowns in the New Year.

Our volunteer Jabs Army stewards are vital to ensure this vast emergency ­programme goes smoothly.

Catherine Johnstone, head of the Royal Voluntary Service, says we are fighting a war.

With the Jabs Army, you can join the war effort with a few spare hours.

Vital lessons

OUR schools MUST stay open amid the Omicron wave.

We are aghast to hear Health Secretary Sajid Javid say there can be “no guarantees”.

If ministers have learned one lesson from Covid it’s surely this:
That the harm done to our children from months away from the classroom is immeasurably worse than anything the virus has inflicted on them.

It’s not just the damage to their educations, life chances and mental health, disastrous though all that has been, as Ofsted’s shocking recent report revealed.

It’s the surge in violence by abusive parents towards kids kept away from teachers who might spot their injuries.

Children like little Arthur Labinjo-Hughes, murdered during lockdown.

Some schools are already closing early.

Left-wing teaching unions are itching for another layoff.

But Covid’s risk to Britain’s children was always tiny and Omicron’s may be smaller still.

School closures would be worse for them in every way.

Rights rewrite

THE Sun has railed against Labour’s toxic Human Rights Act for years.

It enables foreign terrorists or rapists to stay in Britain, citing their right to a family life.

It makes it easier for illegal migrants to dodge deportation too.

It allows Labour-backing lawyers, via like-minded judges, to bring about changes they cannot achieve at elections.

It hands the rich and famous power to muzzle free speech in the Press.

And it means a Strasbourg court trumps ours.

Past governments merely chuntered about it.

So we welcome Justice Secretary Dominic Raab actually doing something.

His proposed changes are long overdue.
