The move is designed to top up their immunity and cut their risk of becoming severely ill.

Other groups of people at higher risk from the virus will also be given another dose of the vaccine.

They include care home residents and staff, frontline health workers and people with some health conditions.

The announcement came as new figures from the Office for National Statistics estimated that Covid rates in Scotland increased for the sixth week in a row.

Data for the week ending 7 July estimated that 1 in 16 people in Scotland would have tested positive for the virus.

This was a slight increase from 1 in 17 the previous week, the ONS said.

Cases are also continuing to increase across the rest of the UK, with 1 in 19 people in England estimated to have Covid last week, while the figure was 1 in 17 in both Wales and Northern Ireland.

The updated advice on vaccine boosters comes from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) and will be followed across the UK.
