Covid: Millions more vulnerable people could be given third booster coronavirus vaccine from September

Play video A care home group where a quarter of residents died of Covid says news of a third booster jab are very welcome, ITV News Health Editor Emily Morgan reports Millions of people who are more vulnerable to coronavirus may be offered a third booster vaccine to give them prolonged protection against Covid-19 from September. Experts advising the government hope that booster jabs will ensure the protection these groups of people have from the first and second doses is maintained ahead of winter and against new variants. It comes after an Oxford University study showed that giving people a third dose more than six months after their second led to a substantial rise in antibodies and increased the body’s T-cell ability to fight coronavirus, including its variants.

Play video Will the new findings on mixing vaccines change how people get their jabs right now? ITV News Health Editor Emily Morgan explains Mixing and matching doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines generates a robust immune response, a new study suggests. The research, undertaken by the University of Oxford, found that using Pfizer followed by the AstraZeneca vaccine produced high concentrations of antibodies. Antibodies offer protection against illnesses. It is hoped the findings could help vaccination programmes around the world by allowing people to get whatever jab is available, rather than waiting for a match.
