Immunisations and vaccinations
Covid-19 Spring Booster
The Spring Covid-19 Booster dose will be offered to the following people:
- Aged 75 and over
- Residents in a care home for older people
- Aged 5 years and over with a weakened immune system.
The NHS will make contact with residents when it is their turn to book.
Eligible people will be called from 17 April until 30 June, with those at highest risk being called first. People will be invited to have their booster around six months from their last dose but can have it from three months.
The government also announced that 30 June will mark the end of the offer of the first and second dose of the Covid vaccine so people will not be able to receive them after this date.
You can also find your nearest walk-in vaccination site from the NHS website.

NHS vaccinations and when to have them
It's important that vaccines are given on time for the best protection, but if you or your child missed a vaccine, contact your GP to catch up. For the most up to date vaccination schedule, including information on COVID-19 vaccinations, visit the NHS website.
