The UK NHS advises that any potential booster programme should begin in September 2021.
This will maximise protection in those who are most vulnerable to serious COVID-19 ahead of the winter months.
Flu / Influenza vaccines are typically delivered in autumn.
Die NHS considers that, where possible, a joined up approach to the delivery of COVID-19 and influenza vaccination could support delivery and maximise uptake of both vaccines.
It is highly likely that over-50s and those at risk will be offered a booster at the same time as a flu jab, with the programme expected to begin in early September.
Data from Public Health England suggesting the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is 96% effective and the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is 92% effective against hospital admission after two doses.
