The COVID Super Booster Vaccine is reportedly set to give a green light to millions of British people from the fall.
Jab, specially designed to protect against Omicron strains, is expected to be replenished in over 30 million people in their 50s.

Moderna’s so-called super boosters are claimed to be five times better than the original vaccine and are expected to move forward from drug regulators within a few weeks, Mail on Sunday reports. ..
Informally named 214, it uses mRNA molecules to program the immune system and protect it from the original Wuhan strain and two types of Covid, Omicron.
Last week, the level of infection jumped to almost one-third, and the Omicron case reoccurred.
However, it remains below the March peak.
Last Friday, the influential European Medicines Agency (EMA) said it believed that Moderna’s new vaccine “may offer some benefits to broadening the immune response” to recipients. ..
And it said, “The bivalent vaccine … may be considered for use as a booster.”
Meanwhile, the company is said to have already talked with the UK Health Director about putting 214 jabs on the plate.
Dr. Paul Burton, Modena’s Chief Medical Officer, said he had a “clear interest” in buying a new vaccine from the UK, Telegraph reports.
Last month, Moderna released positive results showing that the so-called Superjab provided strong protection against the two subvariants that are driving the current wave of infection, Omicron BA4 and BA5.
Dr. Burton said: “The conclusion is that the increase at 214 could be a turning point in the fight against the SARS-Cov-2 virus.”
This happens after the survivors of the Omicron Covid Wave have been warned that they cannot dodge new strains of circulating bugs.
According to a study by Imperial College London, those who have had a previous Omicron disease should catch it again, including old BA.1 and BA.2 versions, new BA.4 and BA.5 strains, etc. Was not immune.
It is despite the fact that they have boosted immunity to previous strains such as Delta and Alpha.
Professor Danny Altman of the Department of Immunology and Inflammation at Imperial said:
“It’s stealth than previous variants and flies under radar, so the immune system can’t remember it.”
However, he emphasized that the vaccine is still protective against serious illness and death.
