Boosters & Rapid Antigen Tests - Welcome To The New Normal

As we increasingly learn to live with Covid-19 and society gets back into its groove, booster vaccine jabs and rapid antigen tests which can be done at home are going to become the new normal, but what do we really know about them?

The Quicky speaks to a medical expert to find out if and when you need to get a third vaccination, and how effective it is to test yourself for Covid-19 instead of visiting a testing centre.
