Experts are warning not to delay getting the Covid-19 booster vaccine as new strains of the virus sweep the country. One in 50 people have coronavirus and almost 10,000 patients are in hospital with the disease, according to the latest figures published by the Office of National Statistics (ONS).
As coronavirus sees an uptick, more than 400,000 people have been identified as being at risk and could become 'seriously ill', say NHS chiefs. The at-risk group, along with adults over the age of 65, are being invited to book their Covid-19 booster jab this week.
People who have already received their invite, including those who are most vulnerable to serious illness from Covid-19 because they are either aged 65 and over, have suppressed immune systems, are pregnant, have a learning disability or another health issue, are being reminded to book in as soon as possible by the NHS.
