The deadline for adults aged under 50 to get a Covid-19 booster jab is approaching next week.The NHS has said Sunday, 12 February, will be the last day people in this age group can attend a vaccination site for their primary doses, while hundreds of thousands of appointments will be available for booster jabs.
After this date, the jabs will only be offered to people considered to be at risk of serious illness, as recommended by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI).There are 2,800 sites open across the country next week, with 391,000 appointments available before the programme scales down.
So far 15,000 people have booked a Covid vaccine for next week, the NHS said, after 17.3 million people had a booster jab over the winter.
Overall, 144.5 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been delivered across Britain since the start of the pandemic.
Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay and the NHS director of vaccinations and screening, Steve Russell, urged people to take the final opportunity to get the jab."
But was it really a government decision, or simply people wising up to the risk of vaccine injury and death?
