While lockdowns have disappeared and public mask wearing has dwindled to a low level, booster vaccines are here to stay. As vaccine immunity wanes over time, those who are more vulnerable will need to get top up jabs against Covid 19.
Over 151million vaccines have been given across the UK, meaning around 75% of the population are fully vaccinated. This is an ongoing effort and there are still lots of people being offered their first or second boosters, with the autumn boosters available soon.
For the elderly, vulnerable or those who work or live with the elderly and vulnerable, another round of jabs will be given to help boost protection from Covid 19 over winter. There is no date yet to when these will start to be distributed but plans are underway to begin the roll out.
