Although vaccines offer enhanced protection from Covid, older and chronically sick people still risk death after infection. The booster jab further reduces this risk while also helping relieve some of the more debilitating symptoms associated with the disease. The Government is hoping to augment uptake with a selection of walk-in centres.
Who qualifies for a Covid booster jab?
Before they book, people should understand whether they fit the criteria to receive their Covid jab.
So far, the Government has chosen to reserve them for people who still risk death if they contract an infection.
And they can only get theirs six months after their second vaccine dose.

Dr Kanani added: “The booster is not just a nice to have, it is really important protection ahead of what we know will be a challenging winter.”
Walk-ins aren’t exclusive for people seeking a booster, as they can also visit one for a first or second dose.
According to the ONS, vaccination rates have recently stalled, hitting 49,955,853 first and 45,697,856 second doses.
A further 7,925,851 people have had a booster adding up to 103,579,560 altogether.
