Adults under 50 in England have just over a week to take up the NHS offer of a covid-19 booster.
The vaccine has been said to protect those from Covid and protect those from getting seriously ill from Covid-19.
The vaccine has been proven to be very affective against Covid and could be the reason why the UK is still living with Covid-19.
Anyone aged 16 or over – or an at-risk child aged 12 to 15 – who has had both primary jabs, qualify for this booster, which has been available for more than a year. Stat the BBC.
Professor Sir Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer for England, explained why the booster jab remained important. “We know that having the third vaccination, the booster, is a very important part of immunity to Covid and it provides additional protection.”
But Prof Whitty said it would not be available indefinitely. “[It] is coming to an end on 12 February and I would encourage anybody who has not taken up the offer to do so before then.”
