Concerns re: Delta variant have change the equation for risk v benefits for the non mRNA vaccines.
I understand pharmacies are keen to play a bigger role in the vaccination process now that they can use those vaccines on all age groups.
Both the AstraZeneca and Janssen vaccines will be made available for all age groups. They had previously been made available for those over 50.
Earlier today, it emerged that the delay between receiving both doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine is expected to be halved after a recommendation from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC).
Earlier this month, the gap between doses of this vaccine was reduced from 12 weeks to eight.
