Although national guidance is to provide 2nd doses at 12 weeks, NWL have taken the decision, due to ‘exceptional clinical circumstances’ 2nd doses can be provided at 8 weeks’ following their 1st dose until further notice. This means that 2nd doses for all under 18s can be given at 8 weeks.

The JCVI have confirmed that the following cohorts are eligible for booster doses no sooner than 3 months after completion of their primary course:

The JCVI have confirmed that severely immunosuppressed individuals who have completed their primary course (3 doses) should be offered a booster dose with a minimum of 3 months between the third primary and booster dose. Those who have not yet received their third dose may be given the third dose now to avoid further delay. A further booster dose can be given in 3 months, in line with the clinical advice on optimal timing.

The Green Book has been updated to reflect plans to vaccinate children aged 5-11. We are still awaiting further information on vaccinating this younger cohort and will share details as they are published.
