Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination

COVID-19 vaccination is an important part of protecting yourself if you're at increased risk from severe COVID-19.

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 years old or over (you need to be 65 years old by 31 March 2024)
  • aged 6 months to 64 years old and are at increased risk
  • living in a care home for older adults
  • a frontline health or social care worker
  • aged 16 to 64 years old and are a carer
  • aged 12 to 64 years old and live with someone with a weakened immune system
Children under 5 in a clinical risk group

Children aged 6 months to 4 years old who are at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19 can currently get a COVID-19 vaccine. Local NHS services will invite eligible children for their vaccinations and arrange their appointments.

If your child is eligible because they are at increased risk of getting seriously ill from COVID-19, please wait to be contacted.

People with a severely weakened immune system

If you develop a new health condition or start treatment that severely weakens your immune system, your specialist may advise you that you need an additional vaccine before the autumn. They will make a referral and advise on the best timing for vaccination around your planned treatment.

Speak to your specialist for more information.

Frontline health and care workers

For frontline health and care workers, the COVID-19 vaccine may be offered directly by your employer, you can book by downloading the NHS App, online or by calling 119. You can also get a COVID-19 vaccination from a walk-in site without an appointment.

Living in a care home for older adults

If you live in a care home for older adults and you are eligible, staff at your care home will arrange your vaccination for you.

How to get a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine   

You may be contacted by a local NHS service, such as your GP surgery, to get a vaccine for you or your child. This is usually done by text or a phone call, but you may sometimes get a letter or a notification in the NHS App.

If you're eligible, you can get a seasonal COVID-19 vaccine by:

If you cannot book appointments online, you can call 119 free of charge. You can speak to a translator if you need to.

If you have difficulties communicating or hearing, or are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use textphone 18001 119 or the NHS 119 BSL interpreter service
