Government’s vaccines watchdog has cast doubt on start date for Covid jab booster programme
Campaigners for clinically extremely vulnerable people have called for urgent government action to ensure they receive Covid booster vaccinations as soon as possible, after members of the government’s vaccines watchdog cast doubt on plans for them to begin early next month.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises ministers, met on Thursday morning and some members believe that significantly more work is needed before booster jabs can be rolled out.
