Official green light from Boris Johnson's government medical-scientific consultants to administer a third dose of Covid vaccine for all over 50s in the United Kingdom in the coming months.
This was announced in Downing Street by Jonathan Van-Tam, deputy chief medical officer of England, and the head of the British drug agency (MHRA), June Raine.
Van-Tam called the success guaranteed so far by vaccines "incredible", with an estimated 112,000 deaths and 24 million infections avoided in the Kingdom.
But he warned that the pandemic is not over yet and that there may be "rough" phases in the winter.
