UK clinics defy guidance and give under-40s their Covid booster jabs now

Web forums share locations of centres offering younger people coronavirus vaccines

Young people not currently eligible for the Covid-19 booster jab have been receiving vaccinations from walk-in centres, clinics and pharmacies across the country that have chosen to ignore official government guidance.

On online forums, under-40s have been suggesting to each other the places offering boosters to all over-18s. On Reddit, nearly 25,000 people are a member of the UK community GetJabbed, where they are sharing locations of clinics in cities including London, Manchester and Liverpool offering boosters to younger people.
