Health Secretary Matt Hancock says that plans for a “booster” Covid vaccine roll-out in the autumn will be set out in the coming weeks. BBC News has the story.
The Health Secretary said ministers were waiting for results from trials of different combinations of vaccines.
It comes after doctors and NHS trusts said planning for a booster rollout must start now as it will involve bigger challenges.
They said many questions needed answering, including how long immunity from the original Covid jab lasts.
The issue of whether children will be vaccinated also still remains, health leaders said.
“We are currently trialling which combinations of jabs are the most effective,” Mr Hancock told BBC Breakfast.
“In the next few weeks, when we get the clinical data through on what’s the most effective combinations to have… then we’ll set out all the details for the booster programme for the autumn.”
Among the ongoing trials is the U.K.’s Cov-Boost trial, which is testing different combinations of third doses across England.
A senior Government source said the U.K. would also benefit from new vaccines from Novavax and Valneva, which are awaiting approval from the U.K.’s medicines regulator.
So far, nearly 60% of U.K. adults have had two jabs of the vaccine, meaning they are fully vaccinated, and more than four in five adults have had their first dose.
People have been rushing to get their vaccines in recent days, with more than one million jabs booked on Friday and Saturday in England after vaccinations opened to all over-18s.

Ah, the final’s in Danzig, with its much reduced German population!
I’ll try once again with the vaccines. What I want to know from any advocate of these “vaccines” (or sceptic for that matter) is this.
In France, there have been rather more deaths attributed to covid-19 through April and May than in the UK. The “vaccination” of over 75’s has also been continuing through April in France by my calculations (whilst having more or less finished significantly earlier in the UK). Is there any possible connection to hitting the most vulnerable with these experimental drugs through April and the larger number of deaths, and what is your evidence? And preferably avoid citing big pharmaceutical companies and their various proxies.
The French all causes deaths for 2021 are EXACTLY the same as 2019, monthly and cumulative. The numbers you see in worldometer etc are recording a casedemic.
The number of people who have had one injection is 27% of the population, those with two is 12.7% , the government target is 60% . Currently they stand no chance of reaching that number.
If you want to dive deeper into typically French detail look at this site which is as accurate as it can be , its maintained by non-government people. The main pages are about the virus/disease. The ‘vaccine’ numbers are accessed by the drop down menu under ‘outils’ on the top right hand corner of the banner.

This is of course ludicrous. But is it any wonder that clubs/EUFA think that fans will be willing to do this, when it seems to have been decided that elite men’s football is an “essential” industry that simply had to go ahead despite us supposedly being in a deadly global pandemic?! Bread and circuses…
Welcome to your new future on planet insanity.
Both Left and Right wing governments are no bastion of freedoms shock horror
Seem to be 2 brands of the same globalists to ensure zero real choice.
I have had both AZ vaccines. I am happy and I know some people with real animus towards pharma will call me a willing sheep. I am happy and can defend the science. I know there are people who are sincerely concerned about vaccine safety but I really do think we need to stop conflating lock down scepticism and vaccine scepticism.
Wouldn’t make a scrap of difference if you were a fan wanting to go to Gdansk. Did you get jabbed under the misunderstanding that it would give you ‘freedom’, or because you were really worried about getting a disease with an IFR of 0.15%?
It’s not conflation when it was offered as the means to escap lockdown.
Control sport, particularly football, and you can control the unwashed masses.
It sill amazes me how dumb they all are.
“Face masks must be worn at all times”
From this Saturday this is no longer true, masks outside in Poland will not be required. Will only apply to inside and on the public transport.
