All frontline staff and even healthcare workers, including those who are members of a nurse agency, are going to be given the booster jab. If you have come up through a nursing recruitment agency then you may also be given the vaccine, alongside adults who are over the age of 50. The government have confirmed that they have accepted the advice from the Joint Committee for Vaccination. The advisory body have said that those who are most at risk are going to be prioritised and that the next phase of the vaccination programme should continue as planned. All those who are over the age of 50 are going to be given a booster and those who are working on the frontline are going to be given it as well. Those who are living in residential care and those who have underlying health conditions are also going to be given the jab. The programme is going to be rolled out this month and although the Pfizer vaccine is preferred, it may be that other jabs need to be given. This jab is being given regardless of which jab was given originally. The recommendation was given because data from the trial indicated that this jab was tolerated well and that it gave a very strong response overall. The recommendation was done because the trial indicated that it was the best solution moving forward but if this vaccine is not possible then a half dose of the Moderna vaccine would be very much suited. The Astra Zeneca vaccine may be given but only if the above two vaccines are not suitable for any reason at all. This is the plan going forward and it would seem that the booster program is moving forward as it should be.
