Answer
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) published interim advice on a potential COVID-19 booster vaccination programme on 30 June 2021, which is available at the following link:
Final decisions on the timing and scope of the COVID-19 vaccine booster programme, as well as cohorts and eligibility, will not be made until later in the year, informed by further independent advice from the JCVI.
