News In Brief: Push For Vaccine Booster Opens Opportunity To Book A Month Prior To Eligibility

The NHS has renewed its push to drive up booster uptake, with people now allowed to book their appointments a month before becoming eligible.

They will only be able to receive it once they do become eligible, but the new measure could help them ensure they get inoculated as soon as their group is called.

It’s part of the government’s attempt to vaccinate as many people as possible ahead of winter.
