British government has announced that it will give a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to people over the age of 50 this fall.
The Vaccination and Immunization Joint Committee recommended vaccination for those over 65 years of age, but as the recent spread of the virus has not been serious, the number of vaccination recipients has been expanded.
However, it is known that the British government has no plans to strengthen quarantine regulations such as mandatory indoor masks.
In the UK, where the sub-micron displacement is leading the epidemic, the number of COVID-19 infections has increased by about 30% in recent years.
The UK is investigating the status of infection by randomly examining thousands of people.
That's 1 in 18 people in the UK.
Germany, where there are close to 110,000 new confirmed cases a day, has also recommended a fourth vaccination.
Germany's health minister said that in order to enjoy the summer and not risk getting sick, it is recommended that young people under the age of 60 consult a doctor for a fourth dose.
The European Union's quarantine authorities have already recommended a fourth vaccination for people over 60 years of age.
