As a 75-year-old, I was pleased and grateful to be vaccinated against Covid on 9 February, in Aberystwyth, but the record card I came away with had an empty box where the date of my booster jab should have been.

On 2 March, 21 days of treatment will have elapsed, and as I understand it there is no (or insufficient) hard evidence on how long the protection I have received will persist if the booster is much delayed. This seems unduly risky.

Again as I understand it – and lord knows I have tried – there is no consensus on whether the “spread it out thinly” strategy adopted by the nations of the UK will produce an overall health benefit to society as a whole, or not.

Other nations and the World Health Organisation appear to think not.

This information and policy deficit needs to be resolved, and quickly.
