AdvertisementBritain has bought another 60million doses of Pfizer's Covid vaccine as part of plans to launch a booster jab rollout this autumn, Matt Hancock revealed tonight. Some of the supplies may also be used for second doses for under-30s vaccinated in June and July, who would expect their boosters in September and October. The autumn vaccine rollout will offer everyone who has been vaccinated a third jab, either of the same type or potentially a different vaccine if studies prove this works, to boost their immunity for the long-term, officials said. 60million extra doses of Pfizer's vaccine will put it on par with AstraZeneca's as the most widely available in the country, with 100million doses of each. For comparison, the number of second doses being dished out stands at around 390,000.
