30million people could get new Covid super booster codenamed 214

A new super-booster vaccine to protect people against the recent Omicron strains which are infecting 300,000 people a day in the UK looks set to be approved within days and given to 30million people.

Moderna has created a new type of vaccine, codenamed 214, which is reported to be five-times more effective that previous jabs, the Mail on Sunday reports. According to reports the vacine could be approved within weeks and could roll out to 30million people this autumn.

The latest figures show millions of people across the country now have Covid again thanks to the new Omicron strains BA.4 and BA.5. Well over 1,000 people a day are going into hospital and UK health chiefs this weekend said the current wave has not yet peaked.
