Covid Spring Booster Vaccinations
As we move into spring, protection from any earlier COVID-19 vaccination you may have had will be starting to wane.
COVID-19 can still be very dangerous and even life threatening, particularly for older people and those with a weakened immune system.
Thankfully, for those who are more likely to become seriously ill from COVID-19, the NHS offers a free vaccine in the spring to top up their protection. This was previously known as the ‘Spring Booster’.
We will be inviting patients to attend the surgery for a vaccination throughout April and May. These can be booked online via the text message sent or you can contact the surgery to make an appointment.
The eligibility criteria is the same as for spring 2024, and similar to spring 2022 and spring 2023, with the addition of immunocompromised people in younger age groups:
- adults aged 75 years and over
- residents in a care home for older adults
- individuals aged 18 years and over who have a weakened immune system
Children under the age of 18 who are immunosuppressed need to make an appointment via the https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/vaccination-and-booking-services/find-a-walk-in-covid-19-vaccination-site/
