All adults in the UK will be offered another dose of a CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine as the government’s immunisation advisory body updated its recommendations on Monday.

After 11 cases of the Omicron CCP virus variant were identified in the UK, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) urgently expanded the eligibility to receive booster doses to include all remaining adults.
