Health authorities have been urged to reconsider the UK’s Covid and flu vaccination policy after deciding not to offer the jabs to individuals under 65 this winter. The decision to exclude millions of eligible 50- to 64-year-olds during the pandemic has been criticized as “short-sighted” and “disparaging” by scientists who warn of a potential increase in cases before vulnerable individuals receive their boosters. However, others argue that the move is sensible as the country adapts to life post-pandemic. Concerns have been raised about the potential strain on the NHS if both viruses cause chaos in already struggling hospitals this winter. The UK Health Security Agency has confirmed that only individuals over 65 will be eligible for the Covid and flu vaccines this winter, with the immunization drive set to begin in October, a month later than usual.
