Virus expert slams UK jab 'complacency' despite rising cases

King's College epidemiologist Professor Tim Spector says he is concerned about the UK's "state of complacency" relying on our vaccine status when "everything else" is going wrong.

He also argues the main concern with travel currently is getting on a plane with Brits due to high-rate infection.
