Under 50s who had Covid to be considered 'fully vaccinated' after one jab

Professor Karina Butler, Chair of National Immunisation Advisory 

People aged under 50 years, who are not immunocompromised and who have had a Covid-19 infection in the last six months can be considered 'fully vaccinated after just one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, under revised Government vaccination plans.

It is understood the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (Niac) advised the Cabinet there is "good evidence" that those who have contracted Covid-19 previously and subsequently received a single dose of an mRNA vaccine have a similar antibody response to those who have never had the coronavirus and who had received two doses of an mRNA vaccine.
