Londres. El gobierno británico anunció este martes que a partir de la próxima semana comenzará a administrar una tercera dosis de refuerzo de la vacuna contra la covid–19 a los mayores de 50 años y al personal sanitario, preparándose para un invierno potencialmente complicado.

“Tenemos que estar atentos, ya que el otoño y el invierno presentan condiciones favorables para la covid–19 y otros virus estacionales”, advirtió el ministro de Sanidad, Sajid Javid, ante los diputados en la Cámara de los Comunes.
