The date for the final first and second doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to be given has been confirmed by the Health and Social Care Secretary.
It comes as the vulnerable and those aged 75 and older have been called forward to have their spring booster jab. Eligible individuals will be offered the booster vaccine around six months after their previous dose, and NHS England will confirm operational details for the programme in due course.
In a statement on Wednesday (March 8), Steve Barclay confirmed that the offer of a spring booster would end on June 30, and on the same day, the offer of first and second doses for people who are yet to be vaccinated would also end. He said: "As we live with the virus without past restrictions on our freedoms, I am also announcing that the offer of a first or second dose of Covid vaccine will end at this time."
