A fourth vaccine dose should be offered to all adults over-75 and the most vulnerable over-12s this spring and rolled out more widely in the autumn, vaccine advisory body the JCVI says. BBC News has more.
Many of the oldest received their latest shot back in the autumn and this extra dose will help top up protection against severe COVID-19.
An autumn booster programme, aimed at a wider group of people, is also planned.
The U.K. nations are expected to accept the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advice.
Up until now, only people with severely weakened immune systems had been eligible for a fourth dose – three doses plus a booster. Those now being offered a second booster this spring, to be administered six months after their previous dose, are:
• adults aged 75 years and over
• residents in a care home for older adults
• individuals aged 12 years and over who are immunosuppressedAdults will be offered a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine while children aged 12-18 will receive Pfizer.
Around 7.2 million people in the UK aged over 75, who have already had their primary course of Covid vaccines, will be eligible for the extra spring booster. Another half a million people who are immunosuppressed will also be eligible for the additional booster.
The JCVI said vaccinating these groups was a “precautionary” move and did not mean there was any current danger to their health.
It comes despite the emerging evidence from Israel that a fourth vaccine dose does little or nothing to reduce spread.
Flu vaccines are adapted each year to try to match the dominant strain of the virus. Even so, their efficacy is very variable. Why, then, are they still using the same Wuhan-based formulation for this vaccine, which successive variants have been progressively evading?

When will the moronic ‘sheeples’ finally realise that these clot shots do not work?
These “vaccines” are super effective. Only need to be taken three times a year for ever! The cull of the frail, the nervous and the gullible is happening in plain sight…
What kind of science is it that ignores the data. The mRNA technology is not a vaccine as we had previously defined it. The antibody response to the fragments that our own cells are induced to produce are not robust. We still do not know enough about the data as the controlled studies were abandoned. More worrying is that trials were conducted with patients with previous infection excluded. As we have 85%+ antibodies in U.K. population we have no published safety data on this group. More vaccination? Whatever happened to Vit D and treatment? Compare the vaccine only response for Covid19 and that of HIV….
Once again the rhetoric used …..let’s jab the elderly and vulnerable to keep them Safe. Safe from what…the flu!!! Turn the language around and yes this jab has been successful because people are dying. The useless eaters and the disabled will be conveniently dispersed of first. We need to change everything about modern living.
we need to break up the establishment and their institutions and we do that by ignoring them. We create our own education system based on the family and skills. We govern ourselves collectively and let the best ideas for all float to the top. We live as humanity should live, by the seasons and the values that Jesus gave us. We don’t need to be told what medicine to take or what years are to be given to a state controlled learning system.
Great sentence: “Turn the language around and yes this jab has been successful because people are dying.”
So, if you were old and not killed off by the first 3 doses they are going to try again.
Source http://www.NaturalNews.com IT Never Ends: UK citizens will need booster shots every three months for the rest of their lives’’ Wednesday 8th December 2021
Health and social care Secretary Sajid Javid of Great Britain has announced plans to impose a policy of endless booster shots for all adults every three months for rest of their lives’’ Speaking before the houses of commons ( watch below) “Speaking before the houses of commons Javid explained how the joint committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recently decided that the new plan is to inject all adults aged 18 years of age and older every three months for the Chinese virus and its many variants’’ .
“JCVI published its advice in the last hours’’ Javid said “First, it’s advised that the minimum dose interval for booster jabs should be halved from six months to three months’’ . “Second, that the booster program should be expanded to include all remaining adults aged 18 and above’’ .
I also know a few well to do people presumably I work in Waitrose who most are middle class I saw a nice young man rather good looking he said he had two jabs he was athletic… Read more »
Drip, drip. drip…….until they drop!
The analysis of former BlackRock portfolio manager Ed Dowd might very well change the entire faux narratives about COVID and the vaccines.
This substack journalist has a good summary of Dowd’s recent areas of interest – life insurance company data, funeral home data, fixed Phizer trials and DoD adverse event data.
Dowd says eventually Wall Street is going to connect all the dots and begin shorting stocks as required.

Yes! My Financial Adviser friend spoke of this earlier today…one to watch!
Will the amoral money machine bring them down before they move in for the kill after all?
When you get your COVID “top up” be sure to get your polio top up at the same time.
So the cull is to continue. Is anyone stupid enough to take a 4th dose?
Do you feel lucky, punk?
Laughable and ludicrous in equal measure. The only problem is that while the vaccine certificate for travel remains everyone has to have this injectable therapy every 270 days. And that’s simply not on.
Wahey, another pin in the cushion
Bonkers, utterly bonkers.
The JCVI now looks like a thoroughly discredited organisation. I wonder if it’ll simply be re-badged, as Public Health England was, after its shameful display?
Which of our organisations and institutions are not discredited?
I cannot think of any.
Vaccinate the vaccinated even if it makes them I’ll……….Boris Johnson as prime minister??? There can only be two explanations, the obvious, that I’m dreaming, the second, that I’ve slipped in to an alternative reality which bizarrely appears to be controlled by a virus. It has to be the second.
Clearly the proles are not dying off fast enough.
The elderly ones must be tougher than first imagined – well some of them.
It’s like a never ending nightmare. Despite all the evidence, they won’t give up on those blo*dy jabs.
I will never travel abroad again, I see that now. Still defiantly unjabbed, I’ll never catch up. I won’t be the only one though.
When they have overturned the Nuremberg Code they will force a Super Jab containing all the previous 8 shots pick-and-mixed from all the options- should cause the ‘drop’ numbers to rise!
I assume they are working on Gates’ suggestion of a 15% global reduction model?
There have been advances is robotics and AI since the 15% reduction estimate. I’d imagine that he thinks can probably keep the larder stocked up for his private chefs, and enough private jet fuel and luxury yacht diesel production, with only 15% of the population surviving.
While I despise and disagree with this idea when you look at it unfortunately it makes sense. In the eye of a top billionaire what most of the people are doing on earth? Struggle with survival and put out a lot of unnecessary waste… In the past the aristocrats needed the peasants but now with self driving john deer tractors/robots/AI why should you need them?
How are these jabs going to be continued when they are under EAU?
“Severe Covid” – was double pneumonia ever mild?
“The UK nations” – WTF are they? Will that be the only permitted terminology under Crazy Toothpaste Man the next monarch?
Personally I wouldn’t write in public about topics on which I was such an ignoramus.
May I take this opportunity to thank comrades Kim Il-Sung, Enver Hoxha, and Tim Davie – who has contributed so much in his roles at Pepsi, the Conservative Party, and the BBC – for their wise leadership, come rain or shine, come lean times or fat.
Shall we now call it a winter flu jab?
It’s just a top up. What’s wrong with that? Who needs data and evidence anyway? Just roll up your sleeve and play Russian roulette. Do it for others. They don’t give a sh*t about you.
Anything to cut NHS waitlists, save the pension systems and solve the care funding problem.
And the turkeys will enthusiastically line up for it, egged on by their own offspring.
I’m not sure that would work. As this is about ageing, and most who aren’t dead will, a continuous “top slicing” drive will be needed, to keep the culling conveyor running smoothly.
Talking about flu jabs, one should never forget that the correct comparison is not just between how many die vaccinated or unvaccinated from the disease, but how many people die both from the disease and from the vaccine itself if vaccinated, compared to the unvaccinated. The Daily Expose today compares the VAERS data for covid and flu jabs:
https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/02/21/covid-vaccines-50-times-deadlier-than-flu-vaccines/
Based on UK and US states, a recent preprint indicates that covid plus vaccination all told kills more people than covid without vaccination.
“COVID-19 and All-Cause Mortality Data by Age Group Reveals Risk of COVID Vaccine-Induced Fatality is Equal to or Greater than the Risk of a COVID death for all Age Groups Under 80 Years Old as of 6 February 2022.”
Highlights of paper here.
stats, not states
Well the placebo had lower all cause mortality so why the shock?
With respect, the Daily Expose is a clickbait site. Every article that I have been tricked into reading there, without exception, has mixed a spoonful of evidence and fact into a steaming bucket of exaggeration, speculation or outright fiction. I’ve seen them flip between true claim A and unrelated false claim B within the same sentence and back again without so much as a semicolon in between.
The more we find ourselves inclined to believe a narrative, the harder we should question it, yes?
Yes, one has to be discerning, but the site sometimes flags up significant material.
How do you differentiate between what you say is true or false? Many of the incredible claims of a year ago are now proved to be true!
Many of the ‘Covid truths’ pumped at the population were straight lies.
Sigh, best get a new suit for my Grandparent’s impending funeral. They’ll be at the front of the queue
Yup, along with my parents.
My 92 year old father has declined noticeably since he had the 3rd shot and flu jab on the same day. He has lost mobility, lost use of hands, much weaker overall. My mother seems unaffected physically. I begged them both not to have any more jabs after number 2, but off they went anyway.
And why? “Because they sent for us” – they being the sainted NHS.
My mother moans to me that my father “isn’t that good”, but won’t accept that the magic jab may have had a role to play.
I fully accept that his age is a big factor, but there’s no comparison with how he was only a year ago, and how he is now.
Try creatine?
Very sad.
Reminder: annual influenza vaccinations produce negative efficacy.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28562111/
Sounds familiar, right?
I’m glad to see at least some scientists are looking at the effects of repeated annual flu vaccines.
A few weeks ago I had a text inviting me for a 4th jab (I have a blood condition which makes me “vulnerable”). What I found most interesting was that in the text the 3rd jab – which I also have no intention of having – was referred to as the “third primary dose” and not a booster. It has obviously been a 3rd full dose from the start dressed up a booster to seem more palatable but why the change in language now?
Because the majority of people no longer seem able to remember their lives further back than a few months. It’s like 1984 – there will always be the planned full dose followed by one very last imminent booster – forevermore.
Long Covid Trauma Syndrome ( brought on by psy-op torture)
Zombification!
“Zombies own nothing, but are they happy?”
I’m struck by all these citizens who are getting these “texts” telling them to go get their next jab. These are not public health agencies – they are Vaccine Promotion Agencies.
… If this order (?)/reminder comes from a ‘trusted” public health authority, many people do what they are instructed to do.
Sadly, my elderly mother will be first in the queue for this 🙁
The vaxx does little or nothing to reduce spread? The conclusion of the Israeli study would appear to be (in keeping with their terminology) that it does little or nothing of anything at all (other than make some people a lot of money and give a lot of people a range of health issues they did not have prior to being poked).
“The increased efficacy against symptomatic compared to asymptomatic infections found in this study suggest that the fourth dose may be more efficacious against severe disease and death, as was recently observed22. Therefore, older and vulnerable populations who are at higher risk for severe disease may benefit most from a fourth vaccine dose.”
“Our data provides evidence that an mRNA fourth vaccine dose is immunogenic, safe and somewhat efficacious, apparently more against symptomatic disease. Four to five months after the third dose, the fourth dose increases immunogenicity and restores it to levels comparable to peak antibody levels after the third vaccine dose. Thus, while mRNA vaccines seem to be highly potent and protective against severe disease, next-generation vaccines may be needed to provide better protection against infection with highly transmissible future variants.” (emphasis mine)
Considering that the group studied… Read more »
What is this new obsession with having incredibly high antibodies?! We’d all be laid up in bed with fever 24/7 if we had high antibodies to every pathogen we had encountered permanently floating round in our blood.
It’s like claiming you’re fit because your heart rate is 180 constantly…
Fit for nothing!
Good job of highlighting all the qualifying “weasel” words and phrases – ‘may be” “seem to be” ‘apparently,” etc. – All of the studies and pronouncements from officials I have read are replete with such qualifying words.
“• individuals aged 12 years and over who are immunosuppressed”
So that would be the previously jabbed then.
VAIDS
Here’s a thought – can the AIDS cause by the vaccines be caught through sharing needles and unprotected sexual contact with a jabbed?
I hope not cos I will have got it off my partner
Flu vaccines are adapted each year to try to match the dominant strain of the virus. Even so, their efficacy is very variable
I took flu jabs for years, hoping that on average they did me some good. After reading the results of this paper I have decided not to continue with them.
“The data included 170 million episodes of care and 7.6 million deaths. Turning 65 was associated with a statistically and clinically significant increase in rate of seasonal influenza vaccination. However, no evidence indicated that vaccination reduced hospitalizations or mortality among elderly persons. The estimates were precise enough to rule out results from many previous studies.”
In English, they do no ruddy good.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32120383/
They significantly reduce the burden on the state of having to pay pensions.
They fill the GP’s coffers…
You might be interested in this article (I wrote it) that makes the same point or asks the same question – i.e. do the flu “vaccines” really work?
https://uncoverdc.com/2022/02/14/flu-vaccines-of-dubious-effectiveness-helped-pave-the-way-for-covid-vaccines-of-dubious-effectiveness/
Since two weeks ago, MHRA have released booster totals per manufacturer. For doses 1 and 2, it was 48.5% PfizerBiontech and 48.5% AstraZeneca. The remainder was Moderna and unknown. For the boosters, it is 76% PfizerBiontech and 23% Moderna. That is 99% mRNA type jabs.
I had a suspicion from the start that it was going to go all mRNA – particularly Pfizer.
The AstraZeneca wasn’t licensed as a booster, at least initially, so it was either Pfizer or Moderna.
QED
None of them have been ‘licensed’.
Watching Pfizer/Moderna – same technology, one licenced from the other – take out AstraZeneca early on in the jab roll out was like watching a scene from a mafia film where one group of mobsters takes out another group to take over their business.
It was a full on take out job. There was no censorship of side effects of the AstraZeneca jabs. The blood clots. That circulated just fine. Only after AZ was taken out did they start clamping down on “misinformation” about side effects.
