Covid booster vaccines should be given to young, says leading scientist

Rolling out booster jabs to younger age groups could help cut Covid infection rates to low levels across the UK, a leading scientist has said.

He said he saw "no reason" why younger age groups should not be offered boosters once they were given to the priority groups.Dutch partial lockdown to tackle Covid surgeIn September, the government's scientific advisers recommended everyone over 50 should be offered a third dose of a Covid vaccine, along with front-line medical staff and younger adults with some underlying health conditions. The rollout began later that month.

Modelling data on the immunity booster jabs provided to the UK population will be published next week, he said.

Yes millions of asthmatics under 50 and now 40 are unprotected going into winter. CHANGE THIS POLICY NOW

We are past even the legendary Fergie time, the players have departed the stadium but Professor Neil Ferguson plays on in the hope of what? No sane person could possibly know or care but still the BBC reports it. I suppose at least it's not climate.

The 'leading scientist' being the discredited Neil Ferguson.

Hahaha Ferguson, who hasn’t got anything right ever. Not only is he always wrong with his predictions, he’s REALLY wrong. We should not trust that man at all

Ahh, yes. Professor Ferguson… How’s that 200,000 cases a day in the UK working out?

😂

No not really! Considering the virus has a 99.9% recovery rate. Plus the fact that the vaccine remains substantially more dangerous. This clearly isn’t about safety or science.

The vaccinated are the ones getting sick.

No it should be “Covid booster vaccines should be given to young but they have a choice whether they want to or not, says leading scientist”

What age is classed as young? At present those of us under 50 are not eligible for a booster ( unless in vulnerable Group) surely we should have option for 3rd on basis that we keep being told the effectiveness if vaccines reduces significantly by 6 months ?

For what reason? Scientifically they don’t need them. Killing children’s immunity leaves them with a life of illness and drugs?

A second jab first would be good.

Based on what data?

Ahahaha and then 4th, 5th, 6th

Leading scientist…..singular

JVCI advise against vaccinating children FULL STOP the government ignored the science BBC pushing bad advice

The young shouldn’t have been given ANY covid vaccines, it poses no threat to them and them being vaccinated doesn’t stop them spreading it. Unless you are at risk a vaccine is a needless exercise
