    DescriptionThe overall news about how Covid-19 has affected the UK so far this year has been relatively positive: although we have still had a lot of hospitalisations and deaths from Covid and flu, figures are lower in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland compared with the same period last year. News is also coming in about the next few rounds of Covid vaccine boosters. It seems that while countries such as the US and France have made vaccines available to anyone who wants them, the UK will probably continue restricting free access to select groups, and may reduce access further in the future.
