THE NHS says that it 'expects' over-40s to be able to book coronavirus booster vaccines as of Monday, November 22. This comes as the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) advised the government that all adults over the age of 40 should be offered a booster six months after their second dose.
It says that all people aged 40 to 49 years old who have not previously been eligible will soon be able to book an appointment for a booster dose using the NHS service.
