If you are over 75 years old, aged 6 months and over and immunosuppressed or a resident of a care home for older adults, you can now get your COVID-19 spring vaccination.

COVID-19 spreads easily all year round. It can still be very dangerous and even life threatening, particularly for older people and those with a weakened immune system.

Protection against COVID-19 (either from catching the virus or from a previous vaccination) can fade over time and the circulating strain of the virus can change, so if you are at higher risk of severe illness, it is important that you top up your protection.

The COVID-19 vaccines provide good protection against severe disease, hospitalisation and can protect those most vulnerable from death.

The NHS will be sending invites to those who are eligible, but you do not need to wait for an invite to book.
