AIBU?
To ask if under 50’s will be offered covid booster this autumn?

Nothing I google confirms this.

Only under 50s in clinical risk groups.
"For these reasons, people aged 50 years and over, those in care homes, and those aged 5 years and over in clinical risk groups are being offered an autumn booster of COVID-19 vaccine.
A booster will also be offered to front-line health and social care staff, those who care for vulnerable individuals and families of individuals with weakened immune systems."

I’m thinking we won’t be but it doesn’t actually state that under 50’s won’t get anything? My DH is insisting we will get it after everyone else on the list has had it, like last time.

At the minute the only under 50s eligible are in an at risk group; a frontline health or social care worker; pregnant; a carer; or a household contact of someone negronis immunosuppressed.
There is no indication that it will be offered to other groups but that might change if there is a significant increase in cases or a weird new variant. We are planning for such a scenario but it’s not nailed on.

Thanks. So as it stands we currently won’t be getting one if we are under 50 which is as I thought. Just couldn’t find anything to say otherwise.
