The United Kingdom is targeting older adults in its upcoming COVID-19 vaccine campaigns, not banning everyone under 50 from receiving them because the shots are dangerous, as some social media posts suggest.
on its advice for the United Kingdom’s COVID-19 vaccination program in 2023 that"severe COVID-19 continues to be disproportionately greater in those from older age groups, residents in care homes for older adults, and persons with certain underlying health conditions."checkedIn that case, we found that Denmark was focusing its booster campaign on people over 50 — not restricting everyone else from receiving a shot.
The United Kingdom has launched a similar booster campaign plan. But unlike Denmark, where people under 50 could still generally get the COVID-19 primary vaccine series, the U.K. Health Security Agency spokesperson told The Associated Press that healthy younger people who don’t have risk factors, such as cancer or pregnancy, won’t be able to get any COVID-19 vaccine shots going forward.
People under 50 aren't banned from receiving the booster in the UK, but there are restrictions about who in that age range can get one. We rate this claim Mostly False.
