Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination
Vaccination is clinically-proven to reduce your risk of getting seriously ill from Coronavirus (COVID-19) and your risk of catching or spreading the virus.
From 1 July 2023, the offer will become more targeted to those at higher risk from severe COVID-19, following advice from experts. The vaccine will usually only be offered seasonally (for example, during the autumn-winter period) although people who develop a severely weakened immune system at other times may be able to get the vaccine sooner.
The COVID-19 vaccine has saved countless lives, helped tens of thousands of people to stay out of hospital, and made it safer for us to live with the virus without fear or restrictions. It remains our best form of protection against the virus, which can still make people very ill.
We encourage anyone eligible who has had just one COVID-19 vaccination, or not had one at all, to come forward for the vaccine as soon as possible before 30 June. One dose is better protection than none.
Spring COVID-19 booster
Like some other vaccines, levels of protection may decline over time. Vaccinations are being offered to those at greatest risk this spring to help them to maintain strong protection from becoming seriously ill or needing to go to hospital if they catch COVID-19.
