Committee that advises ministers says outstanding concerns rule out start in early September
A plan to start offering Covid booster vaccinations in the UK from early September is extremely unlikely to happen, it is understood, given the concerns of the government’s vaccines watchdog about the clinical benefits and potential wider risks to vaccine confidence.
No formal date has been set for third vaccinations as clinical trials continue, but the Department for Health and Social Care and the NHS have talked about their starting early next month after results from a series of clinical trials due this month.
