Health officials support proposal for private provision of vaccines after age limit on NHS booster programme raised to 65
Covid booster vaccines are expected to become available for the UK public to buy for the first time after health officials supported the proposal.
Pharmacists and private clinics will be allowed to offer jabs for sale on the high street, as they do with the flu vaccine. They are unlikely to be available in time for an autumn booster campaign but could become available next year.
