Millions of people in the UK are now eligible to receive their booster jab - including 16 and 17-year-olds.
The changes to the booster roll-out scheme come as a response to the rising cases of the Omicron variant in the UK over the past two months.
This is everything you need to know about the Covid-19 booster jab scheme.
Who can get the jab?
The booster jab is now being offered to everyone aged 16 and over.
The Prime Minister announced in December that every person eligible for the booster vaccine should be offered the jab before the end of December.
This brought forward the government's previous target of rolling out booster jabs to those 18 and over by the end of January this year.
The vaccine priority list is listed below:
1. Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2. All those aged 80 and over, and frontline health and social care workers
3. All those 75 and over
4. All those 70 and over, and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
5. All those 65 and over
6. All individuals aged 16 to 64 who have underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7. All those 60 and over
8. All those 55 and over
9. All those 50 and over
10. All those 30 and over
11. All those 16 and over
When can I get the third dose?
Anyone aged 16 and over is eligible for the booster jab as long as it has been at least three months since they received their second dose.
