Al Jazeera, 16 Sep 2021
It is feared this winter season could see coronavirus infections rise.
And the British government says it wants to prepare for the worst.
It has announced a roll out of third doses of vaccine from next week.
Around 30 million people will be eligible, including everyone aged over 50, people with underlying conditions and health workers.
They will be given at least six months after a person has had a second dose.
But is that enough?
