This spring, the NHS is once again offering the COVID-19 vaccine to those that are at highest risk of getting seriously unwell if they catch the virus.

Covid-19 spring booster vaccinations are now available to book for residents in care homes, older adults, eligible housebound people and for those who are immunosuppressed. These vaccinations will be available until 30 June 2024.

If you are aged 75 or over (by 30th June 2024) or have a weakened immune system, your protection against COVID-19 may fade more quickly than other peoples. You can get the extra protection you need by getting the spring COVID-19 vaccine. 

You may be eligible for the vaccine if you have a disorder affecting your immune system, are undergoing immunosuppressive treatment, such as for cancer, or are taking medications that increase your risk of infection. You can check the summary of health conditions, treatments and medications that can cause a weakened immune system on the NHS website.
