The waiting time between Covid jabs could be reduced from eight to four weeks as the country prepares to lift all restrictions on July 19, according to a new report.
The Government is keen to speed up vaccinations as the Delta variant continues to spread and has asked the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) for advice on reducing the time between the two injections, The Sunday Times reported. 
On Monday, Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced the gap between jabs would be reduced from 12 weeks to eight for all under-40s.
He told MPs the move amounted to reinforcing our vaccine wall of defence further still.
Public Health England says there is evidence of better immune response and/or protection where longer intervals between doses are used.   
But the JCVI will need to balance this recommendation with the benefits of being fully inoculated when they issue advice on whether to reduce the interval again to four weeks. 
Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi dismissed The Sunday Times story which suggested the gap between receiving the two doses of the Covid jab could be cut to four weeks.
He said: The real-world data, the clinical data suggests that actually the eight-week interval offers that additional fortification in terms of protection with the two doses, at much better than having the interval shortened any further.
Mr Zahawi said those most severely affected by coronavirus now were those who had not had the vaccination.
It comes after Boris Johnson was warned it would be dangerous to drop all restrictions on July 19 due to rising cases.
The rate of new coronavirus cases in most areas of England is now back at levels last seen during the winter.
Patient numbers have risen to levels last seen around three months ago.
And there has been a very slight increase in the average number of deaths reported each day of people in England who died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19.

But this is still far below the sort of numbers seen in January and February of this year.
Professor Helen Stokes-Lampard, chairwoman of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, told BBC Radio 4s Today programme: Weve only just heard in this bulletin about the rising numbers of cases, the rising numbers of people requiring hospital treatment, in intensive care and sadly deaths are starting to rise again, too.
There seems to be a misapprehension that life will return to normal from then (July 19), and that we can throw away all the precautions, and frankly, that would be dangerous.
She said she had been profoundly concerned over restrictions lifting.
Warning of the pressures already faced by medical staff, she added: It feels in hospitals and GP surgeries as like the middle of winter in terms of how busy we are, rather than July, which would normally see a very low number of infections.
Dr Mike Tildesley, a member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling (Spi-M) Government advisory panel told Times Radio that there is a risk with the planned reopening.
The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges said in a statement: There is little doubt that things will get worse before they get better.
Yesterday the UK reported 32,367 new COVID-19 cases and 34 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
That compared with 35,707 cases and 29 deaths reported a day earlier.
