JCVI advises a Spring COVID-19 Vaccine Dose for the Most Vulnerable
Many elderly adults received their most recent vaccine dose in September or October 2021, and are at much higher risk of severe coronavirus (COVID-19). Therefore, as a precautionary strategy to maintain high levels of immunity, an extra spring dose is advised around 6 months after the last vaccine dose for adults aged 75 years and over, residents in a care home for older adults. The JCVI (Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation) has provided additional interim advice to ministers for the purposes of forward planning that a further booster in the autumn of 2022 is likely to be advised for people who are at higher risk of severe COVID-19. JCVI will provide more definitive advice in due course.
