from monday, people in england will be able to book their covid boosterjab a month in advance. the current rules mean you have to wait six months until after your second dose before making the appointment, but that's being relaxed in efforts to increase uptake ahead of winter. dominic hughes reports. the rollout of the booster programme for the over 50s and the clinically vulnerable has proved more sluggish than the initial vaccinations that began last december. this are administered six months after the second dose, and up until now it has not been possible to book an appointment until you reach that milestone. but from monday liberals in england are being relaxed, so you can schedule a jab a month before you need it. the government says the booster programme is moving ahead at pace. more than 9 million booster jabs have so far been administered. that is nearly 16% of the uk population over the age of 12. and
