The Secretary of State for Health, Matt Hancock announced today: “It is likely we will need a booster programme in the autumn to deal with new variants.” This is to deal with the inevitable evolution of coronavirus. There have been over 25 million people in the UK who have received their first jab. One million more have now had their second jab, but there’s still a large part of the population who haven’t had their coronavirus vaccine.
The news on the vaccine update was given by Hancock in the House of Commons.
This comes amidst the revelation that supplies of the coronavirus vaccine are going to see a significant drop in April.
A letter from NHS England read: “There will be a significant reduction in weekly supply available from manufacturers beginning in the week commencing 29 March.”
It elaborated, stating the volume of first doses will be “significantly constrained”.
This is an evolving news story. Updates coming soon…
