The United Arab Emirates has announced a ban on citizens who have not had three doses of a Covid vaccine from travelling abroad. Medical exemptions will apply but there is no option of a negative test.
Mixed news on vaccines from the UKHSA this week. Unadjusted VE is still negative for 18-70 year-olds. But boosters appear to be helping. On the other hand, this only shows how poorly two doses were performing.
Plans for a "booster" Covid vaccine roll-out in the autumn will be set out in the coming weeks following results from trials of different combinations of vaccines, according to the Health Secretary.
Rumours that a third Covid vaccine dose will be rolled out later this year have been confirmed by plans to offer the over-50s and those with underlying health conditions an extra dose before Christmas.
