People in Great Yarmouth have said that they think getting the Covid booster is a good thing, especially when considering travelling overseas.

On Tuesday, a case of the Omicron variant had been recorded in north Norfolk and health secretary Sajid Javid said he expected to see more of a spread of the variant.

We asked people in the town centre whether they have had their booster yet and whether they think others should do the same.

Lynne Drew-Curtis, who has been triple-jabbed, said: "I had my booster on Monday.

"They were so good, I hardly knew I had it.

"I didn't think much of it. I just thought ' well, why wouldn’t you?'

"It's what you should be doing.

"Also, I have family abroad and I got my booster in case travel restrictions required I had one."
