'Next generation' Covid vaccine that targets Omicron to be rolled out in Autumn

A "next generation" Covid-19 booster jab which is the first to target two strains of the virus will be offered to millions of Brits over the autumn.

The groundbreaking Moderna jabs, which target both the Omicron variant and the original strain of the killer virus, will be rolled out in a bid to avoid a winter NHS nightmare.
