The i says ministers are to put their faith in the Covid-19 vaccine to prevent a fresh wave of infections this winter as Boris Johnson is poised to give the go-ahead to a booster programme on Tuesday.

Under his Autumn and Winter Covid Plan, the Prime Minister will spell out his proposals to keep coronavirus under control that will rely heavily on the strength of the Covid jab.
