The group that advises the government on vaccinations - the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) - has released interim guidance about Covid booster jabs in the coming winter.

The JCVI says those who are clinically extremely vulnerable, NHS and social care staff and the over-70s should be prioritised but booster shots for the under-50s will also be considered.

Today programme's Mishal Husain spoke to Prof Anthony Harnden, deputy chair of the JCVI, and put to him some questions which were emailed by our listeners.
