Could be mandatory.

The offer of a second Covidbooster jab for the most vulnerable groups in the UK is expected to be made in the coming weeks, The Independent understands.

A decision has already been reached by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), but the full details of its recommendation have yet to be passed to ministers, according to a Whitehall source.

Since the end of last year, the JCVI has been reviewing the “timing and value” of a second booster jab for the UK’s immunocompromised people, amid mounting evidence that suggests protection from a first booster wanes in a matter of months for the general population.

The rollout of a second booster for these groups “will see them to through the summer, depending when they started” their vaccination course, the source said.

An estimated 500,000 people in Britain are considered severely immunosuppressed.

The majority of these have received four vaccine jabs to date: three primary doses and one booster. A second booster, as planned by the JCVI, will bring their total to five.

I've had my two jabs and a booster, and I'm leaving it at that. I hate injections, and I'm immensely proud of myself for overcoming my fear and having three, but enough is enough. No more needles for me. scold

In Spain they are scrapping vaccine passports and the wearing masks indoors is about to be abolished.

If vaccines are made mandatory in some countries, I wonder if the findings from specialists who were instructed to analyse the vaccine campaign by their government would be valid as a reason for opting out dunno

3 was maybe enough for me as well. It depends on if any new variante is worse than omicron at a later stage, if so I'll sleep on it. Do you get slightly aroused by the idea of mandatory Tom? Be honest... purple heart

To answer your question as well as I can, no, I can do without mandatory and like to labour under the illusion I'm free

Restrictions have all been lifted here, so rules that were formerly legally binding, such as wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces, are now merely guidance, even the Covid passport is scrubbed...irish

I have many friends across the county that are fully vaxxed ,some in the nursing profession,that are battling the Omicron variant so it would seem that a further one would still not be a prevention.handshake

I guess it's as they said, in that it's not a prevention, a couple of friends have caught it over the past few weeks and they were fully vaxxed, seems we're damned if we do.. etc etc..handshake
