The public is being urged to take part in trials to find out whether a third dose of Covid vaccine could protect against new variants.
All seven vaccines the UK has ordered will be tested on working-age people and over-75s as part of a randomised trial.
Data on side-effects and immune responses will be gathered.
The findings will help vaccine advisers decide if re-vaccinating some people in the autumn is necessary.
The Cov-Boost study, which starts in June, will recruit 3,000 people of all ages who had their first dose in December or January, to test if this is worthwhile.
"It could be that some age groups may not need a booster and others do," said Prof Saul Faust, chief investigator for the trial, from the University of Southampton.
"We are not trying to say one is better than the other.
"The aim is to find out whether there should be a booster campaign and which vaccine to use," he said.
Prof Faust said he was not expecting any vaccines to be "detrimental" but some could cause high fevers or very sore arms, for example, which would be useful to know.
The vaccines will be trialled at 18 sites across the UK, and half doses will also be tested.

Finally managed to get the MyGP app to work, set up to link to myNHS which used to need a trip to the doctors to prove who you were but now can be done all online even if it takes a couple of days for authorisation to come through.
Having got those to work, I can now go to MyGP and pull up my vaccination certificate0 -

12 days after the second jab is Sunday, so hopefully will get the tick then. Will the photo appear automatically?0 -

One assumes that this will be the group most likely to benefit as well as being the group that the vaccination may start to lose its effectiveness.
Although I did hear that they will want adults over 30 at some point.0 -

Have you got clearance from your GP to allow your medical records to be viewed online? Can you see immunisations on you open your records? If not then you will need to contact your GP to release them (it’s just a on/off option on their system and they cannot refuse).0 -
The US is starting to look like they may have a problem. The vaccination programme has been very impressive as you would expect but currently there is a trend for people not bothering with their second vaccine. Right now supply of vaccines is outstripping demand. Many states are not currently taking their allocation of vaccines because they don’t have a demand for them. A vast country with many variations in attitude so we might expect to see regionalised issues as and when the India variant hits home.0

Had my first Pfizer jab yesterday. Wasn't as smooth as others have said, had to queue for over an hour to get into the building. But at least it's done and so far no side effects other than a sore arm.5

I received a text message yesterday from Bromley Covid Vaccination Centre advising that my second jab needed to be rescheduled. Initial thoughts were it's one of those hoax texts and was going to ignore it, then, as it said you could rebook an appointment on the NHS site (where I'd booked both jabs last month) I cancelled the 2nd jab that was due 29th June, fully expecting it to be delayed because they're prioritising the spread up North or getting more people their initial dose, but now it's now happening on 9th June. Just 8 weeks and a day after the first one.

Prince William has had his first jab. Aged 38 so in line with the guidance, indeed I think it's been very good that the royals and politicians have had their jabs when eligible, rather than jumping the queue.6 -

So a place near me is doing jabs on demand for anyone over 18, queue up and from 5.30 jabs are available until they run out or reach a capacity of who can be jabbed by 5.30. Young colleagues have tried on a couple of occasions to get one and been too far back in the queue. Anywhere else doing this?0

I think this is due to the spike in the Indian variant in the West London (Hounslow)1
