The Government has said it is “confident” all over-50s will be able to get a new coronavirus vaccine targeted against the Omicron variant.
Britain became the first country to approve such a “bivalent” jab on Monday that directly targets Omicron and the original Covid-19 strain.
Starting within a month, 29 million people will start being invited for jabs as part of the autumn booster campaign to try to protect the overstretched NHS this winter.
