Over one million invited for COVID booster jabs this week
Invitations to book a COVID booster jab will be sent to one and a half million people this week as the NHS vaccination programme enters a new phase ahead of winter.
Texts allowing people to arrange a top-up through the National Booking Service are now going out, with letters also being sent later this week.
Those who have had their second vaccine at least six months ago are eligible for the booster jab to increase their protection.
The NHS COVID vaccination programme, the biggest and most successful in health service history, has already delivered more than 77 million vaccinations.
