The UK Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recently recommended that the current autumn booster campaign, offering additional COVID vaccine doses to higher-risk groups, including people with certain medical conditions and those aged over 50, will end on February 12.
Vulnerable groups will be offered COVID boosters in autumn 2023, with additional boosters in spring 2023 for those at highest risk. But, for a large portion of people, there will be no more COVID vaccines.
The offer of third doses to everyone over 16 will be withdrawn after February 12, with no indication it will be reinstated. The offer of primary COVID vaccinations also looks likely to end during 2023 for most people, including children.
