A new "super booster" jab to protect people against recent Covid strains could be approved for use in the UK within days.
Moderna has created a new type of vaccine, codenamed 214, which is reportedly five times more effective than previous jabs, the Mail on Sunday reports. This vaccine could be approved within weeks and then be rolled out to 30 million people this autumn, it is being reported.
Latest figures show millions of people across the country have Covid thanks to the new Omicron strains BA.4 and BA.5. More than 1,000 people a day are going into hospital and health chiefs have warned the current wave has not yet peaked.
