Spring COVID booster available for vulnerable groups
The government has announced that the Spring COVID-19 booster will be made available to the most vulnerable groups within the community.
Those groups that are eligible for the free booster are:
- Adults aged 75 years and over
- Residents in a care home for older adults
- People aged five years and over who are immunosuppressed
Eligible individuals will be offered the vaccine around six months after their previous dose. The NHS will confirm how these groups will be able to get the booster soon.
Vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 and the spring booster programme provides an opportunity for those who are at the highest risk of severe illness to keep their immunity topped up.
