Another Covid booster for millions as deadline looms for under-50s to get final jab
Up to eight million people are still not double-jabbed and will run out of time to come forward.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisaton, which advised ministers on the latest move, said the vaccine rollout should now become “more targeted”.All over-50s and Brits with long-term illnesses could be part of the autumn rollout again, lining up with flu vaccines.Professor Wei Shen Lim, chair of Covid vaccines at the agency, said: “The Covid-19 vaccination programme continues to reduce severe disease across the population, while helping to protect the NHS.
“That is why we have advised planning for further booster vaccines for persons at higher risk of serious illness through an autumn booster programme later this year. “We will very shortly also provide final advice on a spring booster programme for those at greatest risk.”
