Covid autumn booster jab - who is eligible, how has it changed and where to get one

Covid cases are rising once again. Latest figures show around one in 35 people had the virus in the week to October 3 - up from one in 50 the previous week.

Some 400 deaths registered in the seven days to October 7 mentioned coronavirus on the death certificate - an increase of 39% on the previous week. And while this is well below those in January 2021 when deaths reached almost 8,500 people a week, many people are wanting to make sure they are as protected as they can be.

Most people already have some form of protection - either from past exposure to the virus or from innoculations against it. However for many of the population, it is almost a year since they received their last booster dose of the vaccine.
