Covid booster jabs could go on sale privately in UK in 2024

Health officials reiterate support for private provision as lower age limit for NHS booster vaccines raised to 65

Covid booster vaccines may become available for the UK public to buy for the first time after health officials reiterated their backing for the proposal.

Pharmacists and private clinics will be allowed to offer jabs for sale on the high street, as they do with the flu vaccine. They are unlikely to be available in time for an autumn booster campaign but could become available next year.
