Exclusive: Indian Students In UK Can Get Booster Shots At Walk-In Vaccination Centres
NDTV
The announcement comes after Britain ramped up some restrictions in recent days to contain the spread of the omicron Covid-19 variant.
Indian students in the United Kingdom who have received two doses of AstraZeneca's Covishield vaccine will be able to get a booster shot, as per the new protocol announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
These vaccines can be accessed at a walk-in centre since people whose primary doses are not recorded in the system in England are unable to book an appointment for boosters through the UK's National Booking System at present.
UK sources told NDTV that work is also ongoing to expand the range of vaccinations that can be recorded in the vaccination system.
To be considered fully vaccinated, Indian students looking for a booster shot need to prove that they have been fully vaccinated (plus 14 days) and the country they were vaccinated in must appear on the list on the website gov.uk.
