here is the first paragraph;
The government is to allow people to have their Covid booster jab after five months, a month sooner than under the current policy, in an effort to help stop the NHS becoming overwhelmed this winter.
This major change to the vaccination programme could see ministers flouting the advice of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which recommends that people wait until six months after their second dose before having their top-up in order to maximise protection.

and here is the last paragraph;
The Department of Health and Social Care denied that any changes to the booster rules were imminent. A spokesperson said: “We continue to follow the advice from the independent Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) who, after a rigorous review of the latest evidence, advised all eligible people should get their booster dose six months after their second dose.”
“There are currently no plans to reduce the interval. We urge everyone eligible to get their boosters as soon as they can to maintain their vital protection from the virus over the winter months.
