A third dose of vaccine for all adults in Britain is proposed by the Scientific Committee

A third dose of Covid-19 vaccine should be recommended to all citizens over the age of 18 in Britain, in an effort to strengthen the protection of the population against the Omicron variant, scientists advising the government on the vaccination campaign today recommended.

This third dose, which is currently given to people over 40, should be recommended three months rather than six months after the second dose of the vaccine, the JCVI experts recommended during a press conference.

What they recommended for children 12 to 15 years old

They also recommended, according to the Athens News Agency, that children aged 12 to 15 be able to benefit from a second dose of the vaccine against the new coronavirus three months after the first dose.

The deputy chief physician of England, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, said that Omicron, whom he described as a “newcomer”, was concerned.

The number of mutations in this variant “makes us fear a possible impact on its effectiveness vaccine“, He explained, however, calling on the population” not to panic “.
