NHS England is set to push back the joint COVID-19 and flu autumn booster vaccination programme in a move criticised by clinically vulnerable patients and leading pharmacists
Dr Mary Ramsay, director of public health programmes at UKHSA, said:"The COVID-19 virus has not gone away and we expect to see it circulating more widely over the winter months with the numbers of people getting ill increasing.
"This is particularly worrying in light of the rising transmission of a new COVID variant in the UK which, based on past data, is likely to be exacerbated by the reopening of schools. "This two-tier approach to vaccination raises further questions about increasing healthcare inequalities."
