The Irish Republic and Scotland have both confirmed extensions in their vaccine booster programmes, APA reports citing BBC.

Everyone over the age of 16 in Ireland will now be eligible, says the country's health secretary Stephen Donnelly.

Currently, people with underlying conditions and those over 50 can get boosters.

Meanwhile, people aged 40-49 in Scotland will be able to book booster jab appointments from Saturday.

The vaccination programme will also be extended to 16 and 17-year-olds, who can book slots for second jabs from next Tuesday.
