People under 50 without conditions that put them at risk of contracting COVID-19 will soon be unable to get a COVID-19 booster, the UK government announced on Jan. 25.

Uptake in the under-50 population has been extremely low since early 2022 and the government is accepting a recommendation from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to end the booster campaign for most of the age group.
