Officials have issued a reminder that there is still time for any member of the public to get their Covid jab before the universal vaccination programme closes for the year.
Healthy adults under the age of 50 who are yet to receive a booster jab have just two-and-a-half weeks to take up the offer before they are no longer considered eligible. After this deadline, experts have advised for the universal offer to shift "towards a more targeted offer during vaccination campaigns".
Because of this, only certain groups of people will be given an offer for the first and second jabs during certain times of the year. Currently, anyone aged five or over from August 31, 2022 can receive their primary course vaccinations at walk-in centres or via the NHS' national booking service.
