Free flu jabs and Covid boosters will not be offered to nearly 12 million Britons this winter, as a new variant of the coronavirus disease sweeps the UK.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) on Tuesday issued its NHS guidance on which groups of people will be eligible for its free vaccination programme, announcing that otherwise healthy Britons between the ages of 50 and 64 will no longer receive free Covid-19 booster doses.
