It is understood the jab will be offered to patients in stages, as it becomes available and based on clinical need, with separate rollouts across the four nations. “Alongside vaccination, we have been working rapidly to ensure that clinicians are aware and able to recognise cases promptly, that rapid testing is available, and that protocols are developed for the safe clinical care of people who have the infection and the prevention of onward transmission.”Clade 2 has been present in the UK for more than two years after a large outbreak was identified in the spring of 2022.
