Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination

COVID-19 can be a serious or life-threatening illness.

Eligible people will be able to get a winter COVID-19 vaccine from 3 October 2024.

It's offered on the NHS to people at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19.

The COVID-19 vaccines are offered because viruses change and protection fades over time. It's important to top up your protection if you're eligible.

Who is eligible for a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine

You or your child may be offered a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine if you:

  • are aged 65 or over
  • are pregnant
  • are aged 6 months to 64 years and have an increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 because of a health condition or treatment
  • live in a care home for older adults

How to get the COVID-19 vaccine

If you're eligible for the winter COVID-19 vaccine, you may be able to get a vaccine from:

  • a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site
  • a local service, such as a community pharmacy or your GP surgery
  • your care home (if you live in a care home)

You do not need to wait for an invitation before booking an appointment.

Book online now

You can book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment online or in the NHS App now.

You need to book your vaccination before 20 December 2024

Find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site

Use this service to find a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination site at a pharmacy. If you’re eligible, you can get a COVID-19 vaccination without an appointment.
