<p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation’s (JCVI) interim advice on
a potential COVID-19 booster vaccination programme states that vaccines designed specifically
against variants of concern will not be available in time for booster revaccination
this autumn. The use of variant vaccines will be considered by the JCVI in due course.</p><p>Final
decisions on the timing, scope and cohort eligibility of any COVID-19 vaccine booster programme
will be confirmed once the JCVI has provided their final advice. The JCVI’s advice
will take into account the latest epidemiological situation, additional scientific
data from trials such as COV-Boost, surveillance of the effectiveness of the vaccines
over time and emerging variants.</p>
