Is there an official list of who is being offered a booster yet?

As in the groups last time? Maybe it will follow the same group pattern, but we probably know more about which conditions make people vulnerable now, than we did when the groups were first set.

JCVI haven’t decided the final list of eligible people, but they did publish some interim advice in June here

In Stage 1 of a potential booster vaccination programme for 2021 to 2022, the following groups should be offered a booster dose and the flu vaccine from September:

adults aged 16 years and over who are immunosuppressed
those living in residential care homes for older adults
all adults aged 70 years or over
adults aged 16 years and over who are considered clinically extremely vulnerable
frontline health and social care workers
In Stage 2, the following groups should be offered a booster dose as soon as practicable after Stage 1, with equal emphasis on the flu vaccine where eligible:

all adults aged 50 years and over
all adults aged 16 to 49 years who are in an influenza or COVID-19 at-risk group
adult household contacts of immunosuppressed individuals
