Covid vaccine: Over 30 million people to be offered booster jab as rollout extended to over-50s

More than 30 million people are to be offered a Covid booster jab as part of government plans for 'living with the virus' throughout the winter. Following final recommendations provided by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, all over-50s, clinically vulnerable individuals and healthcare workers will be offered a third dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine in the weeks ahead – regardless of what jabs they received earlier in the year.
