Plans for “Booster” Covid Vaccine Roll-Out Coming Within Weeks
Health Secretary Matt Hancock says that plans for a “booster” Covid vaccine roll-out in the autumn will be set out in the coming weeks. BBC News has the story.
The Health Secretary said ministers were waiting for results from trials of different combinations of vaccines.
It comes after doctors and NHS trusts said planning for a booster rollout must start now as it will involve bigger challenges.
They said many questions needed answering, including how long immunity from the original Covid jab lasts.
The issue of whether children will be vaccinated also still remains, health leaders said.
“We are currently trialling which combinations of jabs are the most effective,” Mr Hancock told BBC Breakfast.
“In the next few weeks, when we get the clinical data through on what’s the most effective combinations to have… then we’ll set out all the details for the booster programme for the autumn.”
Among the ongoing trials is the U.K.’s Cov-Boost trial, which is testing different combinations of third doses across England.
A senior Government source said the U.K. would also benefit from new vaccines from Novavax and Valneva, which are awaiting approval from the U.K.’s medicines regulator.
So far, nearly 60% of U.K. adults have had two jabs of the vaccine, meaning they are fully vaccinated, and more than four in five adults have had their first dose.
People have been rushing to get their vaccines in recent days, with more than one million jabs booked on Friday and Saturday in England after vaccinations opened to all over-18s.

I could do with a boost myself. 😕
Notice that there is no reason given for why boosters are needed
Is it variants?
Does the efficacy fade?
Have they done studies?
No one is asking
All just theatre
The idea of boosters was introduced a while back, now it is cemented in and accepted
Another example of the frog boiling process.
Any objective look at the need for ‘boosters’ at this juncture would conclude ‘What the f.? These ‘vaccines’ must be totally useless’.
Because it’s not a true vaccine, it just changes how host cells behave when they become infected, stopping the disease. You still get covid, can still infect others, but once you had covid and gotten better, you then have true immunity and wouldn’t actually need any kind of booster ever again.
Quite possibly, but the “boost” required in truth is to the govts ability to control us, access to easy power, given by perpetuating the narrative. Nothing to do with health.
That’s not very profitable though
But they’ll all be wanting it, and queuing up for it with their sleeves rolled up, forever, and ever, and ever, and ever…

That’s a good summary.
Ordinarily it would make me laugh being called a tin-hat wearing conspiracy theory loon by someone wearing a perspex screen over their face while insisting we follow the arrows on the floor and wringing their hands with sanitiser every ten minutes… but it doesn’t make me laugh.

Needs a ‘digital ID app’ squeezed in there somehow. Once connected with facial recognition there will be no need for actual lockdown’s just ever changing digital ones…
stop calling it a jab its so infantile
I think it comes from an attempt to undermine the inaccurate label ‘vaccine’.
OK, let’s settle on calling it poison.
“However, poison can also refer to normal medicines in Australian law.” (https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-vaccine-australia-idUSL1N2MY0M6)
Gene Therapy?
I prefer Monkey Gunk
Clotting Agent?
Spike protein generator injection
Andrew Lloyd Jabber would disagree! [Mind you, he is pretty disagreeable.]
I prefer shite in a syringe.
I refuse to call it vaccination, and injection or inoculation sounds sounds medically conventional.
The ‘variants’ plus this will be the gift that keeps on giving – as we predicted.
Ridiculous piece of propaganda and advocation of unethical, criminal medical experiments.
As for Valneva, it just finished the ‘completion of recruitment for phase 3 trial’.
Neither its nor Novavax’s (whose product I am no longer interested in) potions are with the regulators currently.
https://valneva.com/press-release/valneva-completes-phase-3-trial-recruitment-for-its-inactivated-covid-19-vaccine-candidate/
Agree that timescales are silly, and obviously real tests cannot be completed in the timescales talked about. However Valneva is at least interesting that it is fairly conventional using inactivated whole virus, so a lot of the concerns about the spike etc should not be present. My question is , does this mean there is a live whole virus in a lab in Livingston or elsewhere in the possession of Valeneva, because how else can they do this? If so why doesn’t anyone else have it?
What’s put you off Novavax, please?
Vaccines don’t work, have another vaccination.
So people are going to be stuffed full of experimental vaccines while they are still collecting yellow cards. Unbelievable!
Is he on commission?
Much more than commission.
Completely off topic…
Smart phones are to phones what smart “meters” are to meters

Some owners of smart thermostats in the Lone Star State found their pre-set temperatures were going up, all done remotely by their power company, according to local reports. It wasn’t devious: The adjustments are being made as part of programs aimed at saving energy and reducing strain on the power grid.
Say what? Sounds like Texas has a corporate computer misuse problem.
Which they wouldn’t need to do if they hadn’t replaced their working generators with
religious iconswindmills.Yes, temp increases in Air Con settings to reduce demand. At times of peak over the last few days the output from wind generation has been negligible . As ERCOT, the Texas power system is almost an island system there have been spreading power cuts as there is just not enough generation to meet demand. Its estimated that of $60Bn spent on wind/solar generation in that last decade, $20bn has been subsidies. But no conventional plant built so now TSHTF.
Those subsidies accrue to the land owner the wind-totem is placed on.
Greenism is the new part of the stealthy welfare state for the establishment.
He can ram his booster. Sideways.
This is just what the pharma companies want. A populace so scared that they are happy for vaccines to forgo the testing stage. More vaccines, rushed out for anything they can think of, no need for testing. They’ll look at the 200 colds going round normally, pick one and make it into a casedemic. Another vaccine.
There’s huge pressure to emergency license malaria vaccines. After all, if for covid then why not for anything else. Pharma companies hate testing. Its 10 years they aren’t making any money
It will end in tears
That’s a sound analysis – think of the massive increase in profit margins that accrue from (a) ditching proper testing and then (b) producing snake oil at whim for artificial crises.
I’m sure this has no legs but if you are so inclined, please sign my petition to allow an opt out from the NHS. Along with opting out of care I’d also like to be able to opt out of paying for it.
Apparently it needs 5 signatures to go live and 21 before they review it manually and allow more signatures. If I get 21 I’ll be amazed as I have no social media or following to speak of, but still. I have to do something before I accept the new ‘yellow star’ care level that I’ll no doubt still be forced to pay for.

Your error is in thinking private health care is any different.
They probably want my money…

Thanks all, being reviewed 🙂
Done. Good luck!
Another opportunity to play Russian Roulette with your life …
Absolutely correct …
“The vaccines are relatively benign, to get everyone used to ‘the jab’. The boosters will be where the real serious stuff is”. That’s a sentiment that is shared by many of the top skeptics in the medical profession.
Which “top skeptics”?
The only ones I hear on the sceptic side who are predicting mass genocide are the likes of Dolores Cahill, Sheri Tenpenny et al. Their claims are not credible. I’m not denying that there are an unacceptable number of vaccine injuries and there may be more to come but they will still be relatively rare.
“they will still be relatively rare.” Hiya, Mystic Mayo!
Yes. They are, and will continue to be, relatively rare. It’s obvious from the numbers taking up the vaccine that very few people are observing many serious side effects.
This is demonstrably true.
What we don’t know us whether or not ‘serious side effects’ will develop in the future.
What we also don’t know is whether or not the present low levels of ‘cases’ and covvicorpses have anything at all to do with the snake oil.
They might be observing them, but they’re not recording them as adverse events because the vaccines are totally safe, so dropping dead 24 hours after being vaccinated is nothing to do with the vaccine. It’s just coincidence. Relatively healthy people in their thirties and forties drop dead every day. Or suffer massive blood clots. Nothing to see here.
I don’t understand the downvotes. Mayo is right. Even if underreported by a factor of 10 (which the deaths may well be), it’s still relatively rare. That doesn’t mean it’s not an unacceptably high level of death relative to other vaccines, especially in the context of a disease that poses very little threat to younger, slimmer, healthier people. Other sceptics concerned about the boosters are Bhakdi, Yeadon and more. But they are slightly more measured in their tone. I think we need to avoid alarmist language or people will shut down, not listen and fail to act on what are legitimate concerns. “THEY’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!” Is not credible or accurate. Booster mRNA jabs are going to be harmful, but still only to small numbers. Infertility may only impact a small percentage, but it’s horrible if you’re the one impacted. If your child is the one in whatever thousand that gets myocarditis or clots, knowing it’s rare won’t make you feel any better about the decision to get them injected. Some people might develop lymphomas, but not EVERYBODY. It’s the fact that it is likely to be a complete crap shoot that makes it easier for them to get… Read more »
Completely agree with you both. Most people will not have severe reactions. The absolute majority will not die of the vaccine. The problem is that the rare but serious and more frequent side effects recently in specific age groups.
This is not a safe enough vaccine for young and healthy especially as we also have no long term studies. However for patients with serious outcome of C 19,especially in elderly, this vaccine is on balance beneficial. If this experimental vaccine had been used in the specific risk groups and closely monitored for side effects, everything would be different.
It is the mad haste with mass vaccination of healthy young persons in a quixotic attempt to stop the pandemic which is the main problem with far too high vaccine injuries. The recent published evidence of treatment for C 19(below link) makes mass vaccination a failed strategy and much more dangerous incl. the risk of quickly developed vaccine resistant strain.
“Everybody is going to die argument” is most unhelpful in a serious attempt to correct the mass vaccination which was not even considered half a year ago.

‘..they will still be relatively rare’
More likely to be under-reported.
A 92 year old in this household is now suffering from polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) occurring shortly after second pfizer dose.
Inevitably no mention by the NHS of the possible/likely connection, despite annual influenza vaccinations triggering PMR on a regular basis; the link between vaccines and PMR side effects are well known.
https://www.journalmc.org/index.php/JMC/article/view/2788/2121
If they weren’t ‘relatively rare’ then there would be far more resistance to the vaccine. I’ve been in touch with dozens of people recently who have had the vaccine and have had virtually no side effects. That also goes for their family members, friends and work colleagues.
Correct.
For heaven’s sake, folks, do you want everybody apart from us sceptics to die in agony? The way you talk, that’s the impression I sometimes get.
The 92 year old in question has never even considered that there might be any connection.
She has lived her entire life with complete confidence in the NHS.
She is a great deal more typical of the nation in general than we are on this site.
That largely explains the predicament in which we find ourselves.
But it also means that, once again, the data, in this case regarding vaccine side effects, is likely to be of very poor quality……

Jump up and down and move it all around
Shake your head to the sound, put your hand on the ground
Take one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Clap your hand once and clap your hands twice
Roll up your sleeve like this then you’re doing it right….
A little bit of Moderna in my life, a little bit of SinoVac by my side
A little bit of Janssen is all I need, a little bit of Pfizer is what I see
A little bit of Sputnik in the sun, a little bit of EpiVac all night long
A little Astra Zeneca here I am, a little bit of Vaxx makes me your man (Ha!)

If the body doesn’t remember convid and remain immune for a long duration, then it’s not a serious threat. The body’s immune system is not stupid, it’s been honed through millions of years of evolution to survive…
It’s becoming just too easy to see what the real intentions are here… When will the sheeple wake up & realise they’ve all been duped?
Hmmmm, never?
One word – Ivermectin
Good God, it’s painful reading the comments under a BBC article such as this. First time I’ve done it since COVID. I suppose my hopes should not have been high.
I especially loved the smug “Darwin was right, and the unvacinated will all be dead soon enough”.
Hmm well, half-right maybe.
I’ll take a bet on it. If I I live, they lose. If I die, I won’t be caring whether they lose or not.
.
Reminder …
One of the ‘interesting’ phenomena is how often the Covmaniacs can be totally wrong, and still perceived as ‘SAGE’!
… whilst the rational can be consistently right, and the reverse applies.
I heard a respected medic/scientist state recently that the whole covid thing is about the vaccines. These first lot are the test for ‘them’ to see how many get harmed and how many die. He reckons that the boosters will be the real killers. Push duly explained.
Which “respected medic/scientist”?
If this government recommended 10ml of cat shit in a glass of water per day 75% of the fuckwits would try it.
Thinking about it, cat shit may be more beneficial for stimulating the immune system than the “vaccine.”
Who wouldn’t pay good money to see Hancock try that on GMTV administered by Dr Hillarity.
This booster programme will be even more experimental than the original “vaccine” programme. Trials have only just started, yet they’re talking about an autumn rollout. WAKE UP PEOPLE – you are nothing more than lab rats! The Nazis would be well impressed.
Rushing for jabs.
Long queues.
Production line.
Fully informed?
I believe the manufacturers of one awaited vaccine are not ‘valvena’ but ‘Valverna’. In fact it is an old fashioned, normal type vaccine. I’m wondering whether it’ll get permitted, given that fact.
“…how long immunity from the original (injection) lasts?”
There is NO immunity.
Wonder what it does then. 😳
Since I have received no perceptible benefit from the first two jabs they can stick any subsequent ones up their @ss. No freedoms, no jabs, no compliance.
