How to get the COVID-19 vaccine
You can get a COVID-19 vaccine if you:
- are an adult aged 75 years and over
- a resident living in a care home for older adults
- or if you are an individual who is immunosuppressed and aged 6 months and over
Health conditions and treatments that mean you're eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine
This represents a change from the autumn 2024 programme, which also included adults aged 65 to 74 and all those aged 6 months and over in a clinical risk group.
If you're eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, you can:
- book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment online or in the NHS App
- go to a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site
Some people may be able to get vaccinated at a local service, such as a community pharmacy or GP surgery, or at a care home if they live in a care home.
You do not need to wait for an invitation before booking an appointment.
