Some vulnerable people will miss out on new autumn Covid booster jabs as eligibility criteria tightened
Health officials have announced that the number of people to receive the Covid-19 booster jab in the autumn will be reduced.
Previously, the booster was offered to those aged 50 and over. Health officials said that the larger group was offered the jab last year due to an "emergency response" to the pandemic. However, the "success of these programmes has enabled us to live with Covid and, this year, we are able to scale back the number of people who require an autumn booster”, officials said.
“It is important that everyone who is eligible takes up a booster this autumn – helping to prevent them from hospitalisations and deaths arising from the virus over the winter months.”Join our WhatsApp Top Stories and Breaking News group by clicking this link
