Health Secretary Sajid Javid has said that the rollout of a fourth Covid vaccine dose is being ‘kept under review’ amid rising cases in the UK.
Javid said that ministers would continue to follow advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), after figures showed a spike in infection rates in all four home nations.
He spoke out during a visit to Birmingham Children’s Hospital today when he was asked whether he intended to bring forward a fourth booster shot.
