People in England may soon need to have three doses of a vaccine if they want to avoid being banned from nightclubs, gigs and stadiums or having to quarantine after travel.
Downing Street has said it is right to continue to look at what it means to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus.
The Prime Minister’s official spokesman was asked whether entry to large venues or being free from quarantining after travel would be dependent on having the booster jab.
He said: “I think the Prime Minister’s talked about this on a number of occasions and we’ve always said that, given what we know about waning immunity, it’s right to look at what constitutes being fully vaccinated.
“As the Prime Minister said in the press conference, I think just this week, we also want to make sure that those who had Covid and are more than willing to get their booster but just haven’t been able to because of contracting Covid, we want to give them an opportunity to do that.
“So we’re keeping that under review, but obviously we would confirm if there were any further changes.”
Asked when the definition of fully vaccinated would change, he added: “Again, we haven’t set a specific time, we’ve said that it’s something we want to look at and keep under review given what we know about waning immunity, but beyond that we haven’t set a date.”
