(Actually answer is that on your 50th birthday you become qualified for the booster).. After all children under 18 who live with the immuno suppressed can have dose 1, dose 2 and boosters, whereas other children only get the one primary dose. So I suspect there will be pressure to offer it to the under 50s if they want to have it on an informed consent basis, so minus the hectoring / nudging. However the bigger pressure I suspect will be on whether we now give a second dose to 12 to 17.75 year olds and/or whether we're going down the 5 to 11 year olds route. This entire paragraph is conjecture so don't take it too seriously.
Thanks CWS. Time will tell obviously. I know that many countries around the world are doing it, so just wondering what implications that has for us in the UK when other countries (Austria as an example) have a time limit on how long the 2 doses last, or other countries may require a 3rd jab at Dose 2+6 months to be recognized at "fully jabbed".
