Personally I think they should at least offer this to under-50s when they have had take up from the more at risk groups.


The first vaccinations might have worked against other variants but they don't protect as well from Omicron, probably only preventing the more severe illness, given how many people have been 3x jabbed and still ended up with covid.


Even though there isn't going to be any massive impact on the NHS from most under 50s (who aren't already in a target group) getting it, with people basically returning to work at least part of the week in most cases now, and with most people largely able to do and behave pre-pandemic, the impact of workplace outbreaks and the like could be prevented by allowing anyone who wants to, to get vaccinated with one of the new bivalent vaccines.


Personally I don't see the point if the vaccine isn't bivalent now but people should have the choice to get that extra protection.
