Quick Glance: The United Kingdom has approved the Covid Booster Vaccine, which targets two variants.
- According to a British government official, the health service would provide more information "in due course" regarding how and when eligible people can get the booster vaccine.
- The introduction of highly contagious Omicron subvariants this spring appeared to diminish the protection provided by the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines against Covid hospitalizations, with more vaccinated persons admitted with Covid than during the winter Omicron wave.
- Because Moderna's improved vaccination is only licensed as a booster shot, anyone who missed the initial two immunizations must receive those first, according to a British government spokeswoman.
