People aged 75 and over, those in care homes and vulnerable people are to be offered a spring Covid-19 booster jab.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) said it has advised that certain groups of people should be offered the vaccinations, with options including the Pfizer, Moderna and Sanofi/GSK jabs. People aged 75 and over will be offered a jab, along with care home residents and anyone aged five and over who is immunosuppressed.
People will be offered the vaccine around six months after their previous dose, with NHS England setting out the specific details of the programme at a later date. The Novavax jab will also be available for use only when alternatives are not considered clinically suitable.
