Posted By: Fahim Ahmed April 28, 2021

London (HRNW) The UK has secured an extra 60 million Pfizer vaccine doses with a view to rolling them out as part of a booster campaign in the autumn, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said.

Officials have been planning for the possibility of having to boost vaccine protection for the population before the winter.

So far, almost 34 million people have already received a first shot.

Mr Hancock, who booked his own first jab earlier, said it would “keep us safe and free”.

He said: “We have been working on a programme of booster shots again for over a year now, and we back some of the only clinical trials in the world looking specifically at booster shots.
