Over 75s and high risk people to be offered extra covid booster jab

Sajid Javid has announced people over 75, the immunosuppressed and those living in care homes will be offered a Covid-19 booster this spring.

The Health Secretary confirmed the top-up jab would help those at the highest risk of serious coronavirus maintain a high level of protection against the virus.

Full details of the rollout will be set out shortly, but the NHS in England will make the extra dose available to at-risk groups from around six months after their last jab.
